WE CAN DO SO MUCH MORE BECAUSE OF YOU.Audubon YMCA Annual CampaignWe know when we work together, we move more individuals, families and communities forward.

Every day, Y staff, volunteers, members, friends and community partners work side-by-side to tackle the important issues impacting our region.

What if more people joined our cause? Imagine what it would be like if…

More kids had a safe place to go to learn, laugh and play;

More people had the guidance and tools to lead healthier, more balanced lives;

More of our neighbors could access the support needed to create a better future for themselves.

Together, we can make this a reality. Our community faces challenges, but we see possibilities rather than obstacles because of committed Y friends and generous donors like you. Help us send underprivileged kids to camp, provide Child Care for a low income family, address diabetes prevention and awareness, give our seniors a sense of community…and so much more.

In 2015, you can make an unprecedented impact. This year, the Annual Campaign goal for the Audubon YMCA is $60,800. With your support, we can reach our $5.2 Million goal. To make your tax deductible contribution today, please visit philaymca.org/donate or contact Karen DeStefano, Director of Annual Campaign at 484-674-6235 or kdestefano@philaymca.org.

AUDUBON YMCA IS A NO PLACE FOR HATE® FACILITYThe Audubon YMCA celebrated their designation as a No Place for Hate facility, having completed a year of anti-bias and anti-bullying programs. To earn this distinction, the YMCA formed a No Place for Hate Committee, adopted a resolution pledging to create a more inclusive community, and implemented a number of projects promoting respect for differences.

The Y is a cause-driven organization that is for youth development, for healthy living and for social responsibility, so creating an environment where all members feel welcome and accepted through the No Place for Hate campaign is a perfect complement to our mission.

The No Place for Hate program was developed by the Anti-Defamation League to provide a model for challenging bigotry and intolerance in communities, schools and organizations. To learn more about No Place for Hate visit www.noplaceforhate.org.
