Children in Greater Austin have access to safe and enriching afterschool, camp, and preschool programs due in part to financial assistance provided directly from this fundraiser. With your donation, 1:4 kids will get the financial assistance they need to have access to safe programming. In total, the Greater Austin YMCA provides nearly $2.5M in financial support annually to over 30,000 kids, teens, adults, seniors, and families in our community. The crucial funding raised during the Annual Giving Campaign makes that support possible, providing access to health and wellness that would not be available otherwise.

Personally, the Greater Austin YMCA has provided me so many oppurtunities; a youth basketball league as a kid, raquetball courts as a teenager, 1/2 marathon training and part-time employment during the Summer months while in college, a full-time, mission-driven job, career advancement, and (most importantly), a safe and enriching Preschool for my two young children to go every day. Without the Y, I truly don't know where my life would be today. 

This campaign is a call to action, an opportunity for us to come together and
generate positive change. Whether you are a longtime supporter or someone
new to the Y family, your involvement is crucial to our success. Together, we can
empower individuals, strengthen families, and nurture the potential of every
community member.

As we come together for this year’s Annual Giving Campaign, we're not just
raising funds; we're building bridges of opportunity and making a lasting impact
on the lives of those around us. Reaching our ambitious goals enables the Y to
continue providing essential programs and services that make a difference in the
lives of countless individuals, allowing them to flourish and thrive.

Together, we make the connections that power our community.

Thank you for joining us in this important work!
