The Y employs more than 1,000 people, serves more than 60,000 individuals, and provides $5 million in charitable community impact each year. River Crossing YMCA is a non-profit organization that relies upon charitable support to ensure that no one is turned away because of an inability to pay. Each year we provide more than $500,000 to provide financial assistance for children and youth from low-income families to participate in childcare programs and summer camp; we feed more than 3,000 at-risk children and youth each year; and, we provide more than ten free healthy Pathway Programs that address special health needs among veterans, cancer survivors, those with mental health issues and more. 100% of the proceeds from this event will support these important causes.
