Each year, the Y needs to raise over $60,000 from individuals and businesses to maintain and grow the programs that have a lasting impact on our community. Your donation supports affordable memberships for working families, seniors, and youth. It also funds community health initiatives, after-school programs, summer camps, and vital facility upgrades.

This year, we’re focusing on essential renovations, including replacing the pool filtration system and updating the gymnasium floor. These improvements will ensure a safer and more welcoming space for everyone. You can support one of these projects by making an online donation or by downloading a Giving Form here and mail it with your donation to the address below. 

While donations of $500 or more will be honored on our commemorative donor walls in the pool facility or gymnasium, every gift, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal. 

Join us in creating a stronger, healthier community. 

WAYS TO GIVE

We accept online donations or youcan mail a check to:

Elkins-Randolph County YMCA
400 Davis Avenue
Elkins, WV  26241

For more information or help with your gift, please contact Sid Gillispie, executive director, at 304-636-4515 or sgillispie@elkinsymca.com.

Thank you for your continued support!
