JOY Campaign
Since 2019, our JOY Campaign has been a meaningful way for our Calgary community to come together and make a difference. Each year, our branches fill with energy and connection, especially during our JOY Day celebration on Giving Tuesday, December 2nd, when we spread warmth through shared moments, friendly faces, and free hot chocolate for everyone who stops by.
The JOY Campaign is not just about raising funds; it is about sharing joy with our neighbours and helping our community shine brighter together. Every contribution supports the YMCA’s greatest needs, including our Adult Subsidy Program, which helps more people access programs and opportunities that empower them to thrive.
You can be part of the joy by purchasing a 50/50 ticket, making a donation, or joining one of our JOY Campaign events throughout the season. Celebrate with us on JOY Day, December 2nd, and help light up our community with generosity, connection, and joy.
Here are some ways you can raise JOY with us this holiday season:
Give JOY, Donate Today
Your donation to the JOY Campaign helps the YMCA meet our greatest needs, including funding for our Adult Subsidy Program. Every gift creates opportunities for people to connect, grow, and thrive.
Community Impact
The JOY Campaign helps us share joy all year long by supporting programs and services that make a lasting difference. Your support helps remove financial barriers so everyone in our community can access programs, connect, and thrive. Together, we help our community shine brighter every day.
JOY Day
Thanks to your generosity, JOY Day 2025 was a huge success! Every donation was doubled through matching gifts and will have a real, meaningful impact in our community. The stories of JOY are everywhere at the Y, and your support has helped bring them to life. Your support enables our charity to meet the needs of those we serve by offering programs and opportunities that inspire health, happiness, and community connection.
From all of us at YMCA Calgary, thank you for sharing JOY and helping your neighbours shine.
See you next year, Giving Tuesday, December 2, 2026!
