When you walk through the doors of the Sewickley Valley YMCA, you’re not just entering a building. You’re entering a space where everyone is welcomed and valued, regardless of their background or abilities. Where people support each other, celebrate achievements together, and create lasting friendships. This sense of unity and mutual respect fosters an environment where everyone feels they truly belong.
These moments of connection are the heartbeat of our Y, and we believe everyone in our community deserves to experience them. We strive to create a space where every person is seen, supported, accepted, and respected. That’s what it feels like to belong.
Your Support Creates Lasting Change
When you donate to the YMCA, you’re making a positive, meaningful impact on the lives of others. With your support, we can provide financial assistance for child care, programs, and memberships, ensuring that everyone—regardless of age, ability, or financial situation—has the opportunity to thrive at the Y. Together, we can make sure no one is turned away.
Here’s how your generosity can help:
Providing Youth and Family Programs
Your gift provides affordable access to programs like child care, summer camps, and swim lessons. These programs build skills, confidence, friendships, and a sense of belonging. Your support allows every child in our community to participate, grow, and thrive.
Supporting Health and Wellness
Help us deliver programs for everyone—from kids to seniors, including those managing chronic diseases. Together, we can ensure support for all ages and health and wellness needs. Your contribution supports the physical and mental health of our entire community.
Strengthening Community Outreach
Through initiatives like Quaker Valley Food to Families, we ensure that no one in our community will be without healthy, nutritious food and essentials. Your support helps us address our neighbors’ basic needs, building a more resilient and connected community.
Giving Every Child Access to Quality Care
While we offer state-licensed, high-quality child care, many families who earn just above the threshold for state assistance still struggle to afford this essential service. These families look to the YMCA for help. Your donation ensures that every child has access to safe, nurturing care, regardless of their family’s financial situation.
Your Donation Shapes Lives and Strengthens Communities
When you give to the Y, you’re investing in more than just programs—you’re shaping lives. Your support provides opportunities for individuals to grow, discover their potential, and become leaders in their communities. The impact of your donation extends beyond one person, creating a ripple effect that strengthens families and builds a brighter, more connected future for all.
Invest in Your Community’s Future
When you give to the annual campaign, you’re doing more than just donating—you’re investing in a stronger, more inclusive future. Your gift helps ensure that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, has the opportunity to belong, succeed, and grow.
The Heritage Club
The Heritage Club is a way to leave a lasting legacy that ensures your impact will be felt for years to come. By including the Y in your estate plans or making a legacy gift, you’re helping to sustain vital programs and services for future generations. Your generosity will ensure that the Y remains a welcoming place where children can grow, families can thrive, and everyone in the community has access to the support they need to lead healthier, happier lives.
Every Donation Counts
Thousands of individuals of all ages are growing, learning, and thriving at the YMCA because of your support. More than four tons of food and staples are made to families and individuals in need of healthy, nutritious food and essentials.
Every donation makes a measurable difference—feeding families, fostering growth, and creating opportunities for all. Explore the impact of your support through compelling facts and figures that highlight positive change in our community.
