Raise JOY with YMCA Calgary!
To YMCA Calgary, JOY is more than a word. We believe in removing barriers to ensure everyone has a place to belong, and spreading JOY helps us achieve that goal.
JOY is the sensation felt when something that seemed impossible is achieved. It is the feeling that passes between two strangers, all because of a smile. JOY is time spent with loved ones doing something that connects you to one another. And JOY is the spark that lives inside all of us, waiting to be ignited.
This holiday season, JOY can be more than just a word. Live it, share it, and make it a gift for everyone around you. At YMCA Calgary, let’s spread JOY together.
Here are some ways you can raise JOY with us this holiday season:
Members can bring a friend for FREE on JOY Day!
All members can bring a friend to join them on their visit to our facilities for free* on Joy Day, December 3, 2024! Don’t forget to stop by the JOY booth while there for some hot cocoa and treats.
*Valid at all YMCA Calgary locations. All guests must check in with the front desk and present valid ID to enter. Please check facility capacity before coming as programs will be running during JOY Day.
Donate to YMCA Calgary’s JOY Campaign
When you make a gift to our JOY Campaign, you help us address the unique needs and challenges our community members face.
Issues like isolation, financial barriers, child care, language and cultural barriers, mental health challenges, and so much more. We want to give them opportunities to overcome obstacles so they can tap into their full abilities, helping them grow, thrive and give back to their communities.
Until December 24th, all donations to JOY will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000!
