Strong Kids Campaign

The Marshfield Area YMCA relies on the generous support of its donors every year to ensure that its programs and facilities are accessible to all. Contributions to the YMCA’s annual Strong Kids Campaign ensure that no one is turned away from life-changing YMCA programs because of the inability to pay. The financial assistance program offers children, teens, families and individuals the opportunity to benefit from our programs and services. Each year we provide over $200,000 in financial assistance to more than 2,500 local deserving children, teens, families and individuals.

These requests are now rising to record levels. The YMCA, through its annual fund-raising, wants to be there to meet them. We exist to promote the healthy development of all kids and their families regardless of their financial means. Our overall goal this year is $93,000. Funds are distributed on a need based, sliding scale. Each dollar contributed to the Marshfield Area YMCA Strong Kids Campaign stays right here in our community, opening doors to those who need it the most.

Each year thousands of children participate in YMCA enrichment programs where quality care, character development, education and fun are the focus. Parents can rest assured that their kids are safe and happy.

YMCA youth sports programs guarantee that kids have an opportunity to play and the YMCA Sports philosophy is about making friends, learning and having fun - not scoring the most points.

With a progressive swimming program that incorporates skills and character development, the YMCA teaches thousands of children and adults about water safety and the skills needed to swim.

Each day, YMCA seniors find companionship and wellness activities at the YMCA. Seniors are the fastest growing group today at the Y.

Everyone plays, everyone learns, everyone grow at the Marshfield Area YMCA regardless of their race, age, religion, abilities, or financial status. They learn to share, to care, and about teamwork and personal responsibility, while developing self-esteem and wholesome values. We are asking for your support so everyone; children, teens, families and seniors can participate. Please give to the best of your ability.

Investing in the Community

The Marshfield Area YMCA members, volunteers, the board of management, neighbors, and staff meet to organize and implement the Strong Kids Campaign. This campaign helps raise funds for scholarships and subsidies that stay in our YMCA family, assisting people in our community who may want to participate yet for financial reasons cannot.

Won’t you please join us this year?

Neighbors helping neighbors... it’s the YMCA way!

The YMCA is about community. Building relationships and serving others is at the core of all programs and services. Whether it is flag football, Special Olympics, youth aquatic lessons or teen activities, the YMCA builds community within our community, serving over 9,000 individuals.

We were proud to award over $233,609 in scholarships last year. We extend our gratitude to the donors, volunteers and others who make our vision of selfless help to others a reality.

Why a Strong Kids Campaign?

Each year thousands of children, families and seniors would be left out of YMCA experiences if volunteers and donors, like you, were not generous with your time and gifts. Philanthropy has been a part of the YMCA culture since its founding in 1851. At The Marshfield Area YMCA we continue to grow our support of each other through the Annual Strong Kids Campaign. At the YMCA no family is ever turned away.
