In our community, the zip code you’re born into can determine your future.

That means two kids growing up at the same time – often just a few blocks from one another – wind up living worlds apart, even if their zip codes differ by just one number.

At the Y, we know that a number should never define – or limit – anyone. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to reach their full potential, no matter who you are or where you’re from.

When kids learn the life-saving skill of swimming, they build confidence, and develop lifelong healthy habits. Drowning is the second-leading cause of accidental death for children ages 1 to 14, claiming the lives of 3 children everyday.

The Lowe’s YMCA Swim-A-Thon encourages participants to help reach our goal of $6,000 to support drowning prevention and water safety in our community. We have an extraordinary opportunity to ensure a brighter futures, but we need your help. Your gift to the YMCA will have a lasting impact in our community by helping us reach more people though life-changing programs.
