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 Lee County 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 Lee County YMCA helped hundreds of children achieve their full potential. We helped families and children attend after school programs, summer day camps and participate in youth sports, all having a positive impact on families and youth and adults in our neighborhoods. Children swam, played gym games, completed arts and crafts projects and were introduced to the character traits and values that define our programs: honesty, caring, respect, responsibility and faith. These core values permeate our programs and are demonstrated through positive action and reinforcement. But most of all Lee County YMCA summer day camp and after school programs are fun; safe places for kids to learn explore and try something new. By volunteering with or donating to the Lee County WeBuildPeople campaign you help keep positive, fun YMCA programs accessible for everyone. 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?
