Annual Giving Campaign 2025

GIVE NOW

Accessibility to a place to strengthen your mind and body. Safe spaces for kids to learn and grow. Outreach to seniors who are feeling isolated. These are just a few reasons to give to the YMCA of Virginia's Blue Ridge.

Whenever we see a neighbor who needs support, the Y stands ready to help with open arms and caring hearts.

Why does the Y have an Annual Giving Campaign?
The Y’s financial assistance program is 100% funded by donations. Membership fees cover our facilities, salaries, etc. but do not fund our financial assistance programs. To make our programs and services available to all, we need the support of our members, staff, and the community in raising funds so that no one is turned away. Learn more about the impact our 2024 Annual Giving Campaign made here.

Why do we provide financial assistance and scholarships to those with demonstrated need?
We believe that people prefer to accept responsibility and pay full registration fees when they can afford them. But when financial difficulties stretch individual and family budgets too thin, the need for YMCA programs remains, and in some instances, may even be more crucial.
