3.) Sacramento Central YMCA Annual Support Campaign
Each year, the Sacramento Central YMCA provides over $100,000 in financial support to guarantee that our programs, focusing on healthy living, youth development, and social responsibility, are available to everyone in our community. At the YMCA we believe that opportunity should be a right, not a privilege. It doesn't matter where you come from or what your means are, everyone has the right to live a healthy life to their fullest potential.
Each year, our YMCA's Annual Support Campaign raises the money we need to keep our promise. Over $12,000 in aid supports our Capitol Coalition Delegates - representing 20-30% of our enrolled delegates each year. If we were to lose even one delegate to financial concerns, our family would be incomplete and we would have failed in our mission.
I invite each family to participate in the Annual Support Campaign by making a gift that is meaningful to you. No amount is too small (or too great!) and 100% every, single dollar goes back into our community - directly supporting equal opportunities.
Our goal each year is simple: 100% participation by each of our Capitol Coalition Families. Participation starts at just $1. Here are 4 ways to participate:
- Visit bit.ly/capcocampaign
- Text SACRAMENTO1 to 71777
- Return our 2020 Pledge Form with a cash or check donation.
- Set up your own Fundraising page with our CapCo Team and ask others to support Y&G!
On behalf of Sacramento Families who benefit from your generous support - Thank You! You are making a difference in the lives of many.
Family Corner:
Looking Ahead: Our next conference runs from Saturday, January 18 through Monday, January 20. We will again travel by train on roughly the same schedule as the last conference. Our final conference, the full Model Legislature & Court, runs from Thursday, February 13 through Monday, February 17. Unlike our Fresno trips, because the final conference is here in Sacramento, parents must provide transportation to and from the downtown Sacramento area. Plan for Thursday arrival around 10am and Monday pick-up around 9am. Our February 5 pre-MLC meeting will be mandatory for all delegates and a member of each delegate's family. Please make plans to attend!
It's a Great Time to Join the YMCA! The new year leads to a lot of resolutions - many around health and wellness. Healthy Living is one of the Y's three areas of focus along with youth development and social responsibility. If you want to find out what the YMCA has to offer, come visit in January! No joining fees from now through the end of the month.

No delegate should ever drop out or refrain from joining because of financial concerns. If you want to do this program, we want you to do this program.
