Learning Center Fundraiser
The Danvers Y is raising money to upgrade our Learning Center for the Childcare and Summer Camp programs. A “Change Jug” is located at the front desk. It’s a great way to involve your children in a great cause. Please use this opportunity to donate your spare change towards our learning center. Our Learning Center is a great place for our kids to learn about technology, work on their homework and to play some fun and educational computer games. We are looking to raise $1,000 which will be matched by an outside source.
Ink Cartridges for Kids
For the past 8 years, our childcare programs have been involved in a recycling fundraising program. We are recycling all types of ink jets and
cartridges. If you or your company would like to donate their used cartridges towards our childcare program, please feel free to drop them off at the Y. To date, we have raised close to $6,000. Money raised goes towards our childcare and summer camp supplies.
Cell Phone Drive
If you are looking to dispose of your old cell phone, please donate it to the Y. These phones are refurbished and sent out to women’s shelters through a fundraising organization we work with. We also raise money towards our programs. What a great cause! Don’t throw out your phone, donate it!
ANNUAL FUND CAMPAIGN: Year-Round
This is the most important fund raising effort the YMCA undertakes. It is our annual effort to:
-Provide camperships to children who really want to attend camp, but are unable to afford it.
-Provide financial assistance for tuition fees for childcare, membership and/or class fees, as well as program charges.
-Provide funding for major repairs and facility improvements here and at the camp property in Boxford.
The fees the YMCA charges for programs and memberships equal the total expenses of running those activities. We need to raise annual support dollars to enable the Y to provide a financial assistance program and to pay for capital improvements that our annual operating budget cannot cover. Every dollar donated goes directly to individuals, children and families who would not otherwise be able to participate here or toward a major repair of our facilities, so that we may continue to function at the highest level of efficiency. Tax deductible contributions to this fund help to keep costs down for everyone while benefiting the entire community. Donations may be designated for the following: memberships, camperships, or program fees for both youth and adults.
With your support, we can meet our fund raising goal of
$40,000. Please consider becoming a Leadership Level Donor:
$250 and up Heritage Club
$100—$249.99 Century Club
Up to $99.99 YMCA Supporter
