Description

This year, the YMCA is proud to celebrate 175 years of strengthening communities, and I would love for you to be part of this special milestone! On Friday, August 7, 2026, beginning at 12:00 PM, the YMCA of Klamath Falls will host our 175th Anniversary Celebration. This free community event will feature hot dogs, hamburgers, birthday cake, family-friendly activities, and opportunities to celebrate the incredible impact the YMCA has had on generations of local families. As part of the celebration, we will be hosting a raffle to raise funds for YMCA programs and Youth Sports scholarships and financial assistance. These funds help ensure that every child and family continues to have access to the programs that build confidence, encourage healthy living, and strengthen our community regardless of their financial circumstances. We are reaching out to ask if your business or organization would consider donating a raffle basket, gift certificate, merchandise, or other in-kind item. Every donation, large or small, makes a meaningful difference and will be recognized during the event. If you are interested in supporting the celebration, please let me know. I would be happy to arrange a convenient time to pick up your donation or answer any questions you may have. Thank you for helping us celebrate 175 years of community, youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. We truly appreciate your continued partnership and support of the YMCA and the families we serve. All raffle items can be dropped off at the YMCA Fitness and Aquatics Center any time between now and July 24, 2026. We hope you'll join us on August 7, 2026 as we celebrate this incredible milestone!
