Build Strong Kids
You Can Change the Life of a Child
We believe that every child deserves the experience of YMCA programs and child care, regardless of the financial difficulties that their family might be facing.
In 2008, your YMCA provided over $800,000 in financial assistance to 7,376 individuals in our community. This year, more families than ever need your help. Please consider a generous contribution and help your YMCA change lives.
Donations can be sent to South Sound YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, 1530 Yelm Highway SE, Olympia, WA 98501. You can also make a pledge to be paid at a later date, just send us a note with your intentions. Click here for more information.
