About the Campaign
The Capital Campaign, like the Y, is all about people.
The National Capital Region YMCA-YWCA is inviting its members, staff, community partners, friends and new supporters to come together for this exciting challenge. Together, we will raise $15 million.
Now more than ever, our growing local population is increasing demand for Y services. We are planning to meet the needs of our community by increasing the capacity of the Y to serve 150,000 people a year. However, our Y is aging and in desperate need of upgrading and expansion.
Through the "Strengthening the Heart of Our Community" campaign, we will see a revitalized and expanded Y designed to meet the community needs of today and tomorrow.
We will see a Y with expanding, cutting-edge programs that teach values, promote healthy lifestyles and impact the lives of even more young people, families, and older adults. We will see our ever-stronger Y continuing its tradition of building strong kids, strong families and strong communities.
The campaign we are embarking on is designed to improve our buildings and facilities. We will provide the bricks and mortar to revitalize and expand state-of-the-art facilities. We will also build upon the rich legacy of the YMCA-YWCA so that we can continue to make a very real difference in the quality of life in our community.
