Give Money
Are you ready to make a difference this year?
For over 80 years, the Irving Park YMCA has provided health in Spirit, Mind, and Body for the people of Chicago, regardless of household income levels. When a single mom tells us she needs after school programs for her child or a family of four asks for support to help fight obesity, we do our best to ensure that they have access to our quality facilities and programming without breaking their budget.
For years, we have looked to our members to help us stay true to the core values of Caring, Respect, Honesty, and Responsibility for people of all ages, races, religions, and income levels. A donation to Irving Park YMCA's Annual Fund isn't an investment in Irving Park YMCA, it's an investment into the lives of the people who truely need and deserve our help. We depend on your donations to keep our programs and services available to those who need us, and in these times of financial woes, that number will continue to grow.
We never turn anyone away. We’ll find a way to make it work. Last year, we awarded a record-breaking $3.5 million in scholarships throughout our Chicago Metropolitan YMCA's thanks to you. At Irving Park YMCA we were able to provide over $61,000 in scholarshipped memberships and programming in 2008. With your donation, we'll ensure that in 2009 we will continue to help our community live happier and healthier lives. You can make a difference. Donate today!
