First off, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support. Through the "2025 Legacy Foundation Chris-Town YMCA Fundraising Campaign", we are working tirelessly to ensure a brighter future for the Valley of the Sun. Your contributions will empower young people to achieve their full potential, inspire community members of all ages to lead healthier lives, and strengthen the bonds within our families.

In our community, there is a pressing need for resources that foster growth and well-being. By joining us in this mission, you are not just donating; you are advocating for a healthier, more connected neighborhood where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Please consider giving today through the Y. Your support would be an enormous help and encouragement to others who share this vision. Together, we can make a lasting impact on countless lives. Thank you!

OUR MISSION

The Valley of the Sun YMCAs mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

OUR CAUSE

At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

The Legacy Foundation Chris-Town YMCA does not turn anybody away for an inability to pay for YMCA programs such as childcare, early learning, and youth sports.

For the 4,500 families who live below the poverty level within the Chris-Town community, these scholarships are vital to supporting their family.

Your support will ensure all families have access to high quality programs that fit within their financial budget.

FOR HEALTHY LIVING

At the Legacy Foundation Chris-Town YMCA, scholarships are available to provide affordable access to health and fitness programs, as well as a place of belonging.

Memberships and wellness programs can improve the health and well-being of our community to reduce chronic disease, obesity, and improve mental health.

Your support will enable programs and services focused on mental and physical health to be available for everyone seeking a healthier lifestyle.

FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The Legacy Foundation Chris-Town YMCA provides free water safety education for youth and their caregivers.

In Maricopa County, 18 children tragically lost their lives to drowning in 2024, all of which were preventable.

With your support, our water safety initiative can reduce drowning related incidents through awareness, education, and action.
