The Y is a cause-driven organization that is for youth development, for healthy living and for social responsibility. That’s because a strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors.
The Y is for everyone. Our programs, services and initiatives: enable kids to realize their potential, prepare teens for college, offer ways for families to have fun together, empower people to be healthier in spirit, mind and body, prepare people for employment, welcome and embrace newcomers and help foster a nationwide service ethic. And that’s just the beginning.
This year, on Tuesday, November 28th, 2017, the YMCA of Central Massachusetts is participating in #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving.
#GivingTuesday is a global giving movement that has been built by individuals, families, organizations, businesses and communities in all 50 states and in countries around the world. This year, #GivingTuesday falls on November 28. #GivingTuesday harnesses the collective power of a unique blend of partners to transform how people think about, talk about, and participate in the giving season. It inspires people to take collective action to improve their communities, give back in better, smarter ways to the charities and causes they believe in, and help create a better world. #GivingTuesday demonstrates how every act of generosity counts, and that they mean even more when we give together.
We invite you to join the movement and help get the message out and give this November 28. Let your friends and family know that the Y is your local community charity! Share your support on social media with the following hashtags! #YMCAofCM #GivingTuesday
Dollars secured in the Y’s Annual Campaign provide scholarships to children, teens, individuals and families who would otherwise not be able to participate in Y programs. We measure success through lives impacted – the young boy who builds self-confidence in swim lessons; the mom who achieves a healthy weight through Zumba classes; the children eating nutritious meals for free in our after school programs; the cancer survivor enrolling in our Livestrong® at the Y program.
The Y is a charity dedicated to Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility.
