A Community Posting by the Washington County Family YMCA

The Washington County Family YMCA has launched a community-wide challenge to raise the final funds needed for its transformative Beth Armstrong Y–For–All Capital Campaign. A generous donor has pledged to match every gift—dollar–for–dollar—up to $250,000, bringing the Y closer to its total campaign goal of $4.3 million.

This campaign honors the legacy of longtime Y leader Beth Armstrong and reflects the Y’s unwavering commitment to creating a welcoming, inclusive space where all individuals and families can thrive. The funds raised will support a major expansion of the YMCA facility to meet increasing community demand for childcare, wellness, and gathering spaces.

Key features of the expansion include:

• A new childcare facility to expand access to quality early learning and before/after-school care.

• A full-size indoor recreation and community center that will serve as a year-round hub for youth sports, community events, and spaces for families to play and be active together.

• Enhanced wellness and fitness areas to support healthy living for individuals of all ages and abilities.

• Increased programming for youth, teens, seniors, and families—providing safe spaces to connect, grow, and belong.

“With this $250,000 matching gift challenge, every community donation goes twice as far,” said Kristy Purlee, Chief Executive Officer. “Together, we can build a Y that reflects the spirit and needs of Washington County—one that brings people together, supports families, and provides access for all.”

Donations made through https://wcfymcayforall.funraise.org will be matched dollar–for–dollar until the full $250,000 is unlocked.

Help us build for a better us. Give today and double your impact.
