"Change A Life" Campaign

Everyday the YMCA opens its doors to hundreds of children, teens, adults, families and seniors. In 2008 the West Side branch had over 325,000 people come in to participate in programs. Hundreds of these would not be able to participate without receiving financial assistance.

The YMCA of East Tennessee raises over $250,000 annually to provide that assistance. The West Side branch raises over $20,000 of that amount, which doesn’t cover all the request. In a time of economic distress, the need is never more visible and numbers of request are rising.

We need you to help make a difference. Our 2009 “Change a Life” campaign is coming to an end. Please consider making a contribution through a one time gift or a pledge that can be paid throughout the year. For more information on how to give or help with the campaign contact Robin Baker, at the West Side Y at 865-690-9622 or by email at rbaker@ymcaknoxville.org.
