GIVE NOW
Giving Tuesday is just around the corner, and we're excited to announce that our generous community partners at TUDI Mechanical have pledged to match every donation made to our Annual Support Campaign, up to $10,000! Thanks to the matching donation pledge from our generous donor, your contribution will be doubled. So, if you give $50, it will become $100. The more you give, the more you raise!
Not only is TUDI a matching sponsor for our Annual Support Campaign, they also have their own community program, "Heat For The Needy". This is the 26th year that TUDI will provide heating systems for selected low-income families in need, then TUDI employees volunteer to install them! All at no cost to the recipient. To learn more about this "One Day Miracle" or to nominate someone in need, please visit: www.heatfortheneedy.com
Your support can help us continue to provide crucial programs and resources that empower individuals of all ages to reach their full potential with dignity.
TUDI's Heat For the Needy program and our Annual Support Campaign have both impacted one family in particular. Here's their story:
"As a single mother to two kids under the age of 5, Sue was in need of a way to keep her active kids occupied all year long. With no car and living within walking distance of the Butler Y, that seemed like her only option but out of her budget. Thankfully, with the help of their scholarship program (now called the Annual Support Campaign), Sue's family was able to grow up in the Y community and take advantage of everything the Butler Y had to offer for years to come. Child care, swim lessons, YBL, you name it, Sue's family was there, all of which would have been impossible to do without the scholarship. The membership provided more than just a facility for the family. It gave the weary mom a short respite while watching her kids take swim lessons. It taught the kids life skills while also using up some of their energy. They all made lifelong friends, and more importantly, memories together.
Fast forward 20 years later. Sue's daughter, Michelle, found herself in a bind. Being a single mother herself, finances were tight. In the middle of the winter, Michelle's furnace unexpectedly broke. Not only did they have to leave their home for a few days (due to being evacuated by firefighters for high carbon monoxide levels), the furnace issue was not covered by insurance. Without even skipping a beat, a friend of the Y nominated Michelle's family for TUDI's Heat for the Needy program. Michelle's family was selected, and TUDI Mechanical provided a brand-new furnace, installation and everything, AT NO COST! Michelle and her daughter have been eternally grateful from that moment on, to both TUDI Mechanical and the Butler County Family YMCA."
By giving to the Y, you're not just donating; you're becoming a catalyst for positive change.
Your donation will help us continue to provide discounted and even FREE memberships, child programs, and support to those who need it most.
Whether you can give $5 or $500, your support matters. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those we serve. Please join us on Giving Tuesday and double your impact. Thank you for your continued support, belief, and investment in our community's potential!
