Dollars Make a Difference
When you make a charitable gift to the New Canaan YMCA, you help to change lives right here in our community. From membership and program scholarships to helping us provide programs and services to those with special needs, we count on the generous support of our community members to make it happen.
Here’s what people are saying:
“The New Canaan Y has become such a special place in my husband’s and my life. We have met talented and kind instructors, made wonderful friends, and found a place where we can be accepted!”
-Family member and Annual Campaign donor
“Not a day goes by when I don’t think of all that you did for us when my children were in the Y’s afterschool program. You helped shape my son and daughter into the wonderful young people they have become.”
-Parent letter
“Finding ourselves in need of assistance for the first time in our lives, my husband and I were overwhelmed and remain emotionally and financially indebted to you. Thanks entirely to the generosity of your donors, our children were able to attend Camp Mini this summer.”
-Financial assistance recipient
“I love the Y’s Girls on the Run program. I never really felt confident about myself, but Girls on the Run has helped me and makes me feel happy and like I can make my own decisions. I’m more confident now and outgoing. I’m much better at soccer and I can stand up for who is my friend. Please can I come again?”
-10-year old participant in the Y’s Girls on the Run program, a self-esteem and character-building running program
“The Y gave our child the opportunity to just be a little boy. He is a child used to doctor’s visits, separate classrooms, therapy sessions, and hospital stays. Camp gave him back the gift of his childhood.”
-Parent of a Special Needs Child who attended Y summer camp
“Thank you so very much for the wonderful work you have been doing for children with special needs in our community. You really have made an incredible difference for our kids.”
-Parent email
“Being a part of the Y for more than 40 years has been a pleasure. You have helped me through some difficult times, including two surgeries, and everyone has been just so kind to me since my husband passed away.”
-Senior Y member
“Thank you for all I learned at Sports Camp. I had fun and met lots of kids!!”
-Camp scholarship recipient
