Strong Kids Annual Campaign

The Strong Kids Annual Campaign is the foundation on which the YMCA of Greater Hartford accomplishes its mission of building strong kids, strong families and strong communities. The Strong Kids Annual Campaign strengthens the organization’s ability to provide values-based programs and activities to over 109,000 people in the Greater Hartford region, regardless of their ability to pay.

Charitable contributions to the Strong Kids Annual Campaign allows the YMCA to respond to the needs of communities and individuals by creating opportunities to participate in programs that build healthy minds, spirits and bodies.

With your support, we are able to provide financial assistance to youth, adults and families so that they can participate in enriching programs such as wellness, child development, teen leadership, camping, theater and sports. Your gift will ensure a brighter future for our community.

As a non-profit 501 (c) (3) charitable organization, the YMCA of Greater Hartford is grateful for the generosity of its donors. Please consider helping us by making a gift to the YMCA’s Strong Kids Annual Campaign today.  See if your employer will match your gift!
