The Fond du Lac Family YMCA is thrilled to announce the success of its annual fundraiser, YMCA Day of Giving, which took place on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. The event garnered overwhelming community support, surpassing goals and expectations for the annual fundraiser kick-off to the Y’s Annual Campaign.
YMCA Day of Giving, a day-long fundraising initiative, aimed to rally support for the YMCA’s vital programs and services that benefit individuals and families across the Fond du Lac area. Through the generosity of community members, the event achieved record-setting results, raising over $18,000 to support the Y’s mission-driven work. In addition to the remarkable success of YMCA Day of Giving, this fundraiser marks a significant stride towards our annual campaign goal of $270,000, setting a strong foundation for continued support and momentum throughout the year.
“We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support and generosity demonstrated by our community during YMCA Day of Giving,” said JJ Raflik, CEO/Executive Director of the Fond du Lac Family YMCA. “The overwhelming response underscores the importance of the YMCA’s role in building a healthy, strong community. These funds will help support impactful programs and services that empower individuals of all ages to reach their full potential.”
The success of YMCA Day of Giving would not have been possible without the dedication and commitment of staff, donors, board members, and supporters who rallied behind the Y’s mission. Their contributions will directly benefit programs such as LIVESTRONG at the YMCA, healthy living programs, and Membership for All, the Y’s financial assistance program, making a meaningful difference in the lives of countless individuals and families throughout our community.
As the Fond du Lac Family YMCA looks ahead, it remains steadfast in its commitment to serving the community and fulfilling its mission to promote youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. The success of the YMCA Day of Giving serves as a testament to the power of community and collective action to reach a goal.
