Our Annual Campaign is a fundraising initiative that allows individuals and families to experience the CMT YMCA regardless of ability to pay. With your support, children learn to swim, individuals get the chance to overcome physical or mental adversities, and others may experience camp or safe childcare for the first time. Every dollar given stays in our branch helping your community.

Please join us in preserving the importance of youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. With your commitment, we can meet the 2022 CMT YMCA goal of raising $78,000 to improve the outcomes and sense of belonging for our neighborhood. So far in 2021, aside from our charitable programming, we also provided over $70,000 in direct financial assistance and inclusion support services. Your contribution ensures financial assistance to support some of the following initiatives:

• Scholarship programs to provide affordable access to families and youth who might not otherwise have  access to healthy living options
• Safe and quality childcare in our Before & After School Care program and Day Camps
• Youth Enrichment Program (YEP) that breaks down barriers for students to continue learning virtually in a safe environment during the pandemic
• Scholarships to allow children to participate in youth sports, helping them develop crucial teamwork and leadership skills
• Safety Around Water to provide young children with drowning prevention and other life-saving skills in the water
• Inclusion Services that provide one-on-one support to special needs individuals at no cost

With the difficulties of today and the uncertainty of the future, our communities rely on the YMCA more than ever. The CMT YMCA is open and providing programs and services to its members all while following full COVID safety procedures and protocols. From $100 to $100,000, every contribution is a catalyst for helping our neighbor’s bridge opportunity gaps, cultivate health equity, and connect with their communities. Your donation to the Annual Campaign is tax-deductible.

The Annual Campaign Silent Auction will run at the Collinsville Maryville Troy YMCA from March 4-14. For more information on our facility, services and programs, please visit gwrymca.org/cmt. Thank you for supporting the CMT YMCA's Annual Campaign and thank you for caring!
