Shoot for Scholarships Fundraiser
Kids Helping Kids
Sports enthusiasts of all ages and abilities are learning the value of social responsibility through our Shoot for Scholarships Fundraiser in our Sports department!
At the Y, we believe in the potential of all kids. And that all kids should have the opportunity to grow and learn at the Y, regardless of ability to pay. Not enrolled today in a sports class or league? That’s not a problem, as everyone is eligible to participate.
Children in our sports classes and leagues will have the opportunity to shoot free throws to raise money for our Y’s annual Reach Out Campaign.
In 2022, the Reach Out Campaign provided over $2.7 million in scholarships and program subsidies so that individuals and families can experience the YMCA regardless of financial ability.
“The Hockomock YMCA has been a blessing to us. If it were not for all the donations we would not be able to send our children to the Y. Even a small amount can make a difference. You can help children and families like us.” – scholarship recipient
HOW TO JOIN:
Pick up a pledge sheet and log from your sports coach at the Y.
Ask family and friends if they will make a donation to sponsor you. Share that the YMCA is a charity and we do not turn people away due to lack of funds.
100% of dollars raised will go to our Reach Out Annual Campaign.
This is a great fundraiser, allowing kids to solicit donations based on the number of free throws they make within two minutes (in classes March 25th through 31st) or you may ask for a flat donation of any dollar amount.
On the day of your class or league, bring in any pledges or gifts you have received.
Any questions, please email: rossg@hockymca.org (Foxboro), mikem@hockymca.org (Franklin), or kristenmcmillen@hockymca.org (North Attleboro).
