WeBuildPeople is the YMCA of the Triangle’s Annual Campaign, a community-wide effort to raise funds for children, teens, families, and adults who otherwise could not afford YMCA programs or services. Every dollar raised from WeBuildPeople is invested in the lives of people with needs. WeBuildPeople provides scholarships and financial assistance for all YMCA programs including summer day camps, after school programs, youth sports, and adult fitness programs and activities. Through the generosity of volunteers and donors, no one is ever turned away from the YMCA of the Triangle for the inability to pay for programs. Here at the A.E. Finley YMCA, our campaign focuses on nurturing and guiding children, reaching out to and motivating teens, supporting and strengthening families and promoting long-term health and wellness. See how the YMCA made a difference in one child’s life Last year, the A.E. Finley YMCA helped hundreds of children just like Malcolm achieve their full potential. We tutored children to read at or above grade level through Y Learning and we gave them a safe place to go after school. We offered Camp ROCK, a fully subsidized camp/ reading program, for children in rising grades 1-8 and Y-Life, a program for children grades K-8 that brings them to the YMCA for an evening of fellowship, character building and skill development. WeBuildPeople dollars also helped fund scholarships for youth sports, family memberships, tracking out programs and before school care, all having a positive impact on families, youth and adults in our neighborhoods. Through WeBuildPeople, we can shape our community in direct and profound ways. This year there is no shortage of needs to be met. Won’t you help too?
