Welcome to the official January 2010 Fundraiser of The Month website for the Southwest Valley Family YMCA
In its fifth complete year in operation, the Southwest Valley Family YMCA has remained the largest membership YMCA in the Valley of the Sun. Our membership and program participation continues to grow and the need for financial assistance through our Open Doors program is essential to ensuring that all families within our community have the opportunity to participate in YMCA programs and services.

Our Mission
″To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.″
We accomplish our mission by ensuring that no one is turned away because they are unable to afford program or membership fees. The YMCA is here for everyone in our community: young and old, rich and poor, male and female, persons of all ethnic and religious affiliations.
We have several programs which are supported by your generous contributions. For example; Child Care/Summer Camp, Teen Programs, Youth Obesity Programs, Community Connections/Community Outreach.
With the support of contributions to the Strong Kids Campaign, the Southwest Valley Family YMCA has established partnerships with other youth and family-serving agencies in the southwest valley. From sharing facilities with the Boys & Girls Club, to providing memberships and day camp experiences for clients at the New Life Center, we are enabling a new and underserved constituency to participate in YMCA programs.
Giving to the Valley of the Sun YMCA enriches the lives of those in our community. The Valley of the Sun Strong Kids Campaign ensures:
* Sports programs develop strong bodies and healthy habits while teaching values of teamwork | Child-care programs offer a safe and nurturing environment for boys and girls whose parents are at work | Recreational and leadership development programs give teens a positive, alternate after-school activity | Swimming programs teach children how to be safe in and around water | Family activities build strong kids and create lasting memories for parents and children.
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Your generous support of the Strong Kids Campaign will help us to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities.
