ANNUAL FUND

Ensuring everyone has access to the resources and tools they need to thrive.

Your gift makes an impact in our community 

The YMCA of Rock River Valley works with our community to ensure that everyone—regardless of age, income, background, or ability to pay—has the chance to learn, grow, and thrive. Your support makes this mission a reality. The needs of our community are diverse and evolving, and the Y is needed now more than ever. Together, we can create a stronger community and bring about meaningful change in our community. Your support is vital to our success and enables the Y to be an essential component of the lives of so many in our area.

Opening Doors

The Annual Fund is about the life-changing impact the YMCA can have when everyone who wants access has it. All can benefit – the child who gains confidence through learning opportunities, the active older adult who is connected to others, a family that spends quality time together, and so many more. The stories of those who are impacted by the Y have the power to unite and inspire.

Improving Health Outcomes

We foster a holistic approach to health and wellness focusing on safety, well-being, prevention, and maintenance. This includes programs such as Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring, Pedaling for Parkinson’s, and Eat Well, Be Well.

Supporting Education

We champion youth development from preschool to high school by integrating academics with critical thinking, creativity, communication, and self-confidence. YMCA Achievers, Kids’ Time, and many other Y programs are examples of our commitment to developing future leaders.

Strengthening Families

We provide resources, programs, and experiences for families designed to offer support and further strengthen their bond. The Annual Fund allows us to offer many free community events to bring families together to create lasting memories.
