Community Support Campaign 
Campaigner's Hub

Welcome to the Annual Community Support Campaign for the YMCA of Northern Colorado & Southern Wyoming! During our five-week campaign, we have set a goal of raising $315,000 to support children, families and seniors who need access to the Y's vital programs and services. That includes preschool, infant care and school-age childcare; summer camps, swim lessons, sports and teen leadership programs, Livestrong for cancer survivors, MS and Parkinson's fitness programs and countless classes and offerings that help seniors battle isolation.
 
But we can't reach this goal alone.

We are excited to embark on this year’s journey with a shared commitment to doing even more for our community. To our loyal campaigners, thank you for your unwavering commitment to our cause. Your efforts make a lasting impact on the lives of individuals within our community.

On this page, you will find resources, dates and tools to help you raise funds for your local YMCA. If you have questions, please reach out to our development team. Email [email protected].

TESTIMONIALS

‎

“The Y has taken a childcare burden off of my shoulders. I’m in retail. I don’t get the summers off. It’s a big deal. Knowing that (my daughter) can go to camp and have the best time, and I don’t have to worry about anything, it’s a huge relief for us.” 

—Jessie, mom of a YMCA camper

‎

“It was a miracle that there was something at the Y when we needed it. If we didn’t have anything here, I don’t know what we would have done.” 

—Sue, spouse of Y Parkinson’s fitness programs participant
 

‎

“I wanted to donate to the YMCA Ice Program for my birthday because I LOVE hockey, and I wanted to share an opportunity for kids who want to play hockey, to play!” 

—Asya, a young hockey player with the Y’s Lafayette Locomotive Hockey Club. 

For her 10th birthday, Asya asked for donations to the Y’s hockey program—instead of presents for herself. She spent time sharing with her friends and their parents why this organization is important to her. She raised $1,200 in donations to fund scholarships for hockey players in need. With a spirit of generosity, Asya turned her love for hockey into an act of kindness and selflessness.
