GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. 

On Tuesday, December 3, we have the opportunity to turn an ordinary day into something extraordinary. Your gift to the Madison Area YMCA support:

1. Youth Development:
- Childcare & Early Learning: Your contributions help provide affordable, high-quality childcare and learning programs that set the foundations for success. 
- After-School Programs: Donations ensure that children have a safe, nurturing environment after school with enriching activities and homework support. 
- Summer Day Camp: Support our summer camps where kids can explore, learn new skills and build lasting friendships. 

2. Healthy Living:
- Fitness & Wellness Programs: Your support enables us to offer fitness classes, wellness programs, and personalized training that promote healthy living for all ages. 
- Chronic Disease Prevention: Donations help fund programs designed to prevent and manage chronic diseases through education and support. 

3. Social Responsibility:
- Financial Assistance: We believe everyone should have access to Y programs, regardless of their financial situation. Your donations help provide scholarships to individuals and families in need. 
- Community Outreach: Contributions support our outreach initiatives, including food drives and mental health workshops, ensuring we meet the diverse needs of our community.  

You can support the Madison Area YMCA by donating online, in-person, or by mail. 

Together, we can make a difference in our community and be a place where everyone belongs, every step of the way.
