You may know the YMCA for all things gym and swim — or for a certain very catchy song. But did you know it’s also a charitable organization dedicated to improving our community’s mental and physical health?

Every year, the YMCA of Central Kentucky provides $500,000+ in scholarships to help remove financial barriers, creating equitable opportunities and access for all. With the support of donors, the Y can continue to be a vital resource where people from all walks of life come together to learn, grow, and thrive.

You’re invited to be a part of this important work by contributing to the 2024 Impact Campaign: Community Starts Here. Every gift makes a difference and is awarded to YMCA members and program participants to strengthen individuals and families + help build a healthier, more inclusive, and more connected community. Learn more + give today.
