New Canaan Community YMCA News - Where the Community Comes Together

Clubs and Organizations

November 3, 2022

From: New Canaan YMCA

Thanks to the generous support of our donors, thousands of kids, adults, seniors, and families-each with a different need, challenge, or goal-come together at the Y.

Every year, the Y provides approximately $250,000 in financial assistance, ensuring everybody has access to all the opportunities created at the Y.

Financial assistance helps families access safe and engaging childcare and summer camp programs, teaches kids how to swim, and supports anyone who needs a helping hand in order to stay healthy, happy, and connected.

Over 130 kids, teens, and adults with special needs build confidence, develop independence, and make lasting friendships at the Y each year through meaningful programs, events, and employment opportunities.

Over 120 inspiring cancer survivors from our community have grown stronger together through our free cancer wellness program.

Many of the programs and resources the Y offers for seniors, kids, teens, families, individuals with chronic disease, and others do not cover their costs, yet the benefits and support they provide are invaluable.

We continue to provide life-saving funds, support, and meaningful connections to our partners in Kibera, Kenya, serving over 300 children in Africa's largest slum.

Thanks to donations, the Y is where everybody belongs and where our community becomes stronger together.
