YMCA Annual Campaign - Strong Kids

Every day, the YMCA of Lincoln, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), provides kids the support they need to learn, grow and thrive.
From advocacy to after school programs and camping, disease prevention to athletics, soccer to dance classes, everything we do helps strengthen our neighborhoods and the youth who live there
.
But keeping our children healthy and active is a full-time job.
Every day, kids face new challenges that create a greater need for the work we do. And we need your help to do it.
Your gift will help these youth.
