An ENOURMOUS THANK YOU to all who supported the Wilson M. Beck Insurance Services (Kelowna) Inc. Charity golf tournament which raised a record breaking $86,000!

Our communities continue to face unprecedented challenges — increased poverty, unhealthy lifestyles, social isolation, and a decline in our mental health. This significant donation will provide financial assistance to the low-income families we serve so they too can afford Y programs and childcare.

Thank yoooooooouuuuuuuuuuuu!

We are thrilled about this new 'Compete for a Cause' initiative from The Stober Foundation!

Watch the video to learn how you can challenge them to win $5000 for a charity of your choice. This is such a fun way to support the many incredible non-profits in our community who are all making a vital impact in their own way.

We encourage everyone to pick a sport and Compete for a Cause!

WOW! Cycle for Strong Kids raised a record breaking 🎉$123,000🎉 and we are absolutely blown away by the generosity of our community!🥹

After 2-years of cancelled in-person fundraising events, we were hoping to reach $80,000 but our sponsors, donors, riders, fundraisers and supporters all stepped up raising 150% of our goal.🙌🙌🙌🙌

Throughout the event we were also gifted some incredible surprise donations that surpassed all our hopes, raising the most funds ever during a time when our communities most vulnerable families need us the most.❤️
The words thank you don’t give enough justice to the immense gratitude we are feeling. A very special thank you to our presenting sponsors Fresh Air Kelowna and Delcourt Advisory Group Scotia Wealth Management.

Thank you to our friends at the Kelowna Morningside Rotary Club! They donated $5,000 to purchase much needed equipment and supplies to create more opportunities for child development, learning physical activity and exploration at our Dilworth Mountain Child Care Centre.

It's generous community members like this that make it easier for our children to thrive. ♥️

We are so grateful to Grizzli Winery for helping us help our community. Grizzli Winery presented the YMCA of Okanagan with a $3,200 cheque for funds raised through their community markets in 2021. This donation will enable us to support those families who have suffered even greater financial hardship due to the crisis and reconnect them to vital programs and services. Thank you so much! https://www.ymcaokanagan.ca/news/grizzli-winery...

We are celebrating the 15th Annual Cycle for Strong Kids on Sunday, May 29th at H2O Adventure + Fitness! 😍

After two years of cancelled fundraising events, we are excited to bring community together again for a great cause. Our need for donations is more urgent than ever, as the pandemic has challenged our communities most vulnerable in ways we never anticipated.

Our goal is to recruit over 300 riders to raise $80,000 together! Proceeds from the event will be used to support thousands of local children, youth and families in need.

Register today! 🚴

The generosity of our community has blown us away. We exceeded our $25k goal by raising $25,727 for Move To Give!

For this campaign, 100% of the donations go directly to supporting kids, families, and seniors who would not otherwise be able to afford Y programs. Our sincere thanks go out to everyone who participated in our events, donated money, and donated their time. You are amazing!

Feeling the love for sure! ♥️

Just want to give a shout out to one of my favourite causes out there...the YMCA! Now that I live in B.C., I follow and support the YMCA of Okanagan Association. but my family and I have long-time roots with YMCAs in several provinces! From baby-sitting courses to fitness memberships to after school programs, the Y has been a staple in our lives and I just wanted to show my appreciation. Keep up the amazing work here in the Okanagan and across Canada! You are making a BIG difference in our communities :)
