YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH YMCA STRONG COMMUNITIES 

In 2010 the Richmond County YMCA issued $73,114 in scholarships so that no child or family was turned away from Y services.  Click here to see a brief video about one local story.

 

55 volunteers are currently campaigning to ensure that the Y continues its mission for all.  These volunteers have established a goal to raise $69,900 in 2011.  No matter how big or small, your participation in this year's campaign will make a tremendous impact.  You can donate online here, or contact the YMCA.
