Community Support Campaign 
Campaigner's Hub

Welcome to the Annual Community Support Campaign for the YMCA of Northern Colorado! During our six-week campaign, we have set a goal of raising $322,000 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.

Everyone deserves a place like the Y.

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
 

‎

"As the saying goes, it takes a village. And the Y is that village.”

—Wade Arnold, former board member and donor
