Annual Support Campaign
The Athens YMCA organizes a yearly fundraising program with the intent of raising funds to help sustain the YMCA and help fund the scholarship program.
The YMCA has an active, ongoing scholarship program for individuals or families based on income and the number of dependents in a family utilizing a sliding scale. Without funding from the support campaign, the Athens YMCA would not be able to operate or would have to significantly reduce its services and program offerings.
"My brother and I attended the YMCA as children and it was a great life learning experience for us, as it has been for my children so far. They truly love the staff and truly miss them when they are not able to attend. This year I served as team mom for the junior football team and cheerleading squad. It has been a wonderful experience for all involved. Through this experience I have learned more about the YMCA as an organization and I have gained a more prestigious respect for the staff. Thank you for your support.”
