Strong Kids Campaign

The KW YMCA is open to all.  Each year, more than half a million dollars is invested in the KW YMCA’s promise to never turn anyone away due to financial hardship.  United Way provides a portion of the support needed to subsidize memberships, camping experiences and children's programs.  The rest of the dollars are either raised through the Strong Kids campaign or invested by the KW YMCA itself.

More than 70% of the people we are serve are children and youth.  Since 1997, the annual Strong Kids campaign has raised more than $1 million to help children and youth experience YMCA programs like swimming, team sports, day and resident camping, and more.

In 2007, the campaign raised more than $128,00 so that all children, regardless of their ability to pay, were able to access YMCA programs.

By raising more money through the Strong Kids Campaign, the YMCA will be able to allocate more program and participant fees to new programs and add more services to meet the growing and changing needs of our members.
