Our Annual Fund Drive is coming soon! 💙

This moment captures our Y staff and community last Friday showing up for kids — reminding us that Community is powered by all of us.

This weekend, we’re asking you to take action. Your gift today directly supports Youth Sports at the Y, ensuring every child has access to safe spaces to play, build confidence, and feel a sense of belonging -- no matter their family’s circumstances.

Whether this NFL Sunday you’re cheering for the Seattle Seahawks or the Los Angeles Rams , join us by giving now and help keep kids active, connected, and thriving all year long.

This weekend’s NFC Championship has us thinking about more than football.

As Seattle and LA face off, the YMCA of Greater Seattle and the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles are leaning into what we do best — community, connection, and a little friendly competition.

Our CEO, Loria Yeadon, has officially issued a Y vs. Y challenge with real stakes, real fun, and a real purpose: shining a light on how sports support youth development, belonging, and confidence for kids across our communities. Want to support our work?

Cheer for your team. Rep your city. And take a moment to learn how the Y — alongside partners like the NFL — uses sports to create positive outcomes for youth all year long.
Game on. 🏈
