Giving Tuesday

Whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to give.
 
Giving Tuesday is purposefully positioned to immediately follow Black Friday and Cyber Monday on Tuesday, December 3rd. This is an opportunity for our association to receive gifts of any size as people think about end of year giving. Donations can be made to support programs such as Y-Splash, Y-Dance, Annual Campaign, Summer Camp and more!
Holiday Burn App Challenge

December 1-31

Step it up for the holidays! Log 6,000 calories burned to help keep off those extra holiday pounds. Once you reach the goal you'll be entered to win a raffle prize!
Share Your Y Story!

It's your Y, so tell us your story! Every day at the Y, members like you inspire us with the remarkable things you are doing to grow stronger in spirit, mind, and body - and we want the rest of the world to know about it!

The YMCA of Virginia's Blue Ridge is currently looking for members willing to share their YMCA success stories. Don't think you have a story to tell? Think again. No story is too insignificant if it inspires just one person to follow the same path to better health and well-being.
