swimming lessons, Gym & Swim, and other Y youth programs in 2010.
- $122,741.00 -- Total amount of scholarships given in 2010.
The goal on the Y's Annual Campaign is to provide critical scholarship assistance for over 20% of our members. It also provides program support and funds for building renewal.
Your gift will impact programs such as:
- Sunshine Corner Pre-School
- Y Pals Mentoring program for children & youth
- Might Mite & Youth Sports
- Camp Pepin
- Youth In Government
Our Y faces challenging times due to:
- Increased operating costs
- Dramatic reduction in support from previously major funders due to changes within those organizations (I.E. City of Red Wing)
- Increased need for scholarships--At the Y we believe that everyone is entitled to improve their body, mind and spirit. Last year, thousands of members received financial assistance that allowed them to access our programs and facilities. About 20% of all preschool students, Camp Pepin attendees & Y members receive some sort of financial assistance to participate.
You support is certainly needed, deeply appreciated, and helps allow everyone access to this hub of community support.
Together we make a difference. Please give today!

One way you can give is to include the Red Wing Family YMCA in your estate plans. Many families have named our local Y in their wills and trust documents so they know their funds will continue to do good works. These donations help build the Y's endowment and ensure that the Y remains one of the most influential organizations in the lives of area children and families.
