The last year has been challenging for many communities. Throughout the pandemic, the North Suburban YMCA was there for thousands of families helping with food donations, senior wellness check, daycare for essential workers, remote learning for our special needs community and much more.  Our Y made it through the toughest of times all while supporting our 15 local communities in 2021. 
 
We are proud that our doors stayed open, and it was made possible thanks to the help and support from donors like you.  We are hoping that you might consider supporting our organization again in 2022 so we can continue to fortify our Y’s future in the communities we serve.
 
To help our efforts, the NSYMCA will be hosting our annual Community Strong Fundraising Event on April 29, 2022.  This event is critical to our organization’s growth because it raises more than half our charitable dollars needed to promote values that build strong families and the health of each individual’s spirit, mind, and body in an inclusive, welcoming environment. 
 
One element of this fundraiser will be our silent and live auction that generates about $50k; 25% of our fundraising goal.  Every year these donations makes a significant difference in our efforts.  If you can help with gift cards and/or product or services, we would be very grateful because your support is critical to our future.  As a token of our thanks, we will also market your business the night of the event and on our auction platform which will be live, online for 10 days.
