Every year, over 400 volunteers and staff members will actively go into the community during our Annual Giving Campaign to raise the dollars needed to make sure that everyone, regardless of their age, gender, race, faith, ability level, income or background has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Financial assistance funded by Partners with Youth donations keeps the Y available for kids and families who need us most and provides programs that are responding to pressing community needs. 100% of all donations go direction towards providing life-changing experiences that will have a meaningful, enduring impact right in our Upper Cumberland community. Because our mission is to serve ALL people, financial assistance is made available to any individual or family who wants to participate in a YMCA program or activity, but cannot afford the fee. The Annual Giving Campaign helps our Y live its mission every day.
