Double Your Gift with the Spier Family Matching Challenge

JOIN THE SPIER FAMILY MATCHING CHALLENGE

We are excited to share that Greg and Kathy Spier of Foxborough – long-time friends and dedicated supporters of our Y – have once again issued a $25,000 challenge, matching every donation made September 14 – 21 to our YMCA.

100% of every gift goes directly to helping children and families in need experience our YMCA through our Reach Out Campaign, providing confidential scholarships and program subsidies to participate at our YMCA.

All gifts made September 14-21 will be matched by the Spiers and the Spier Family Foundation during our Giving Week.

As a non-profit organization, the Hockomock Area YMCA exists to help people be healthier, more confident and connected to each other and their communities. The Y is guided every day to remain focused on how best to respond to the emerging needs of its communities as individuals and families continue to face financial struggles.
