ANNUAL CAMPAIGN

 

The Baker County YMCA’s Annual  Campaign supports the Y’s Financial Assistance program which ensures all youth, adults and families can participate in Y membership and programs, regardless of their ability to pay. The campaign raises critical funds to provide financial assistance to those who would not otherwise be able to benefit from our services, including youth education, day camps, aquatics programs, youth sports, as well as youth, family, and senior memberships. At the Y, no one is ever turned away due to an inability to pay.

By investing in our kids, our health and our neighbors, the Baker County YMCA ensures that everyone regardless of age, income or background has the opportunity to thrive.
