"Fifty years from now, it will not matter What kind of car you drove, What kind of house you lived in, How much you had in your bank account, Nor what your clothes looked like. But the world might be a little better because you were important in the life of a child."

Strong Kids Annual Support Campaign

Every time you make a gift for annual support, you help the YMCA extend its mission to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities. Through the YMCA Annual Support Campaign, your contribution helps us to teach children to swim, provide summer day camp experiences, provide families with quality before and after school programs, and provide membership to those who normally couldn't afford them. Only by working together can we give more kids, teens and adults the opportunity to grow strong in spirit, mind and body.

This is what your donation can do:

  • $25 provides a youth with swim lessons or a parent/child class
  • $40 provides funds for a child to participate in youth sports
  • $200 provides a youth with a one-year membership
  • $350 provides a youth with a one-week overnight summer camp experience at Camp Miller
  • $500 sponsors a child for three months of after school programming
  • $2,000 provides program supplies for an entire summer of Day Camp

In the past 12 months, the Duluth YMCA provided $400 Thousand in scholarships and programsubsidies.
