Sustaining Campaign for Youth & Families
Each year the YMCA in Greenfield conducts a Sustaining Campaign for Youth & Families. All funds raised are used to subsidize the youth and family programs at the Y and to provide financial assistance for low-income families to participate in Y programs. Our 2006 Sustaining Campaign was the most successful ever, raising more than $125,000 to subsidize our programs and provide financial assistance to over 1,500 people. Our goal is to turn no one away from YMCA programs for lack of funds. Take part in this incredible team effort by donating or volunteering time in April in our Phone-a-Thon or making personal visits to potential donors. We want to continue our success so that children, who otherwise cannot participate in our programs, receive all the benefits of doing so. If you’d like to help, speak to any program director.

The Heritage Club: Leave a Legacy
The Heritage Club is a special group of individuals who believe in the YMCA and want to ensure that its valuable character-building programs/services continue through new generations. Club members have included the Y in their estate plans by will, insurance or by giving a gift outright. A unique aspect of Heritage Club membership is that your gift can be deferred. Listing the YMCA in Greenfield as a beneficiary on your life insurance policy qualifies you as a member. Each spring the Club meets for a social dinner and informational session to recognize members. As more people join this fellowship, the Y builds long-range financial stability that enables us to meet our mission. For information on the Club and deferred giving, contact Bob Sunderland.
