"Y" I WALK 2027 Fundraiser

Y I WALK

2027 Community Support Campaign Fundraiser

Support Joe's Journey; Support Your Y.

From Oct. 12-16, Joe Ross will trek across the YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga’s service area, stopping at each of our YMCA branches along the way.

This five-day journey is about more than the miles. Joe is walking to raise awareness and support for the programs, services and experiences that make each YMCA unique — and that help strengthen individuals, families and communities across our region.

These programs are made possible by our YMCA's Community Support Campaign – an annual fundraising campaign that supports free swim lessons for children, free disease and chronic illness management programs, summer camp scholarships, income-based gym memberships and MORE.

Every dollar raised helps provide opportunities for children, families and individuals in our community to learn, grow and thrive.
