Current Campaign Progress
Join us for events to support our Annual Campaign!
|
Every year the YMCA of the Foothills sets its sites on real and lasting change. We believe every child should learn drowning prevention, every teenager should have a mentor and connection with their passion, every senior should have the tools to prevent falling, and every family should have access to programs that build stronger family relationships.
|
The YMCA of the Foothills serves youth, families, and seniors in Sun Valley, Sunland-Tujunga, La Crescenta, Montrose, North Glendale, and La Canada Flintridge.
Many of these programs would not be possible without the generous support from our donors and volunteers. Please join us to make a lasting impact right here in the Foothills community. |
What is Campaign?
The YMCA is thrilled to start the it's 2020 year off with our eyes toward the future- our youth members. Each year the YMCA of the Foothills deploys a team of staff, volunteers, and community members to help raise funds to support those in need. This year's campaign supports sending kids to camp. We are able to provide thousands of dollars to those in scholarships to send kids of all ages to day camp and resident camp with your support!
Why Camp?
Camp helps combat summer learning loss. In the absence of regular enrichment over summer break, research finds that kids typically lose as much as two months of grade level equivalency in math as well as other subjects. In a distracting digital world, summer camp offers valuable opportunities for kids to slow down and make social connections. Away from the pressures, labels, and social structure of school, one of the best parts of camp is the opportunity for kids to make new friends.
How Can I Get Involved?
Please join us in making a contribution that's meaningful to you and your family- every kid deserves the chance to rise. We also depend on countless volunteers to join us in working to make our community a place for everyone to be their best.
Here's What a Camper Has to Say About Camp:
From Instagram
"I never post stuff like this but this is an emotional rant that I felt like I had to say because I really felt like I was missing camp today and it really hit me that this is my last year as a camper at Fox after 6 years. It's hard to believe that this place has changed me so much, but it really made me into the person I am today, and it took this year at camp to show me that. Camp is and has always been one of the only places where I felt like I could be myself with no limits. Where I could talk about things that no one would judge me about and even cry about things and get love and support from the people with me. I can never be thankful enough or put into words how this camp has honestly changed my life and made me a better person. How it has shown me that it's ok to be 100% who I am because why hide my true self? How it has shown me that it's ok to open up and trust other people, and most importantly, for the endless indescribable happiness that it has brought into my life. I will truly never forget the moments that I have here that have defined who I am and taught me valuable life lessons."
