YMCA Buffalo Niagara Launches 2023 Annual Campaign
(Buffalo, New York) -- YMCA Buffalo Niagara’s Annual Campaign kicks off February 21. Collectively the association is seeking financial contributions to support the organization’s planned $1.6 million charitable impact in 2023.
The YMCA Annual Campaign runs through April 20. Every gift received, no matter the size, helps fund the Y’s efforts to address critical community needs and issues, including bridging the achievement gap, combating hunger and food insecurity, making kids of all ages safe in the water, and equitable access to health and wellness resources.
Last year, YMCA supporters gave over $1.1 million to provide scholarships and subsidize programs and services, making a difference in the lives of nearly 4,500 families. Forty percent of the funding allocated came through gifts made to the Y’s Annual Campaign.
Anyone wishing to support the Y’s mission work can do so online at YMCABN.ORG/GIVE, by texting ACCESS4ALL to 71777, or by reaching out to their local YMCA branch.
