What is the We Build People Campaign?
Our annual scholarship campaign is the major fundraising campaign of the YMCA. Funds raised help those who need it most by providing financial assistance to youth, teens, families and other individuals and ensures that no one is denied the opportunity to share in the YMCA experience due to the
inability to pay. The YMCA of Saratoga provides essential support that strengthens families and
helps children grow in character.
Your tax-deductible contribution to the YMCA Annual Scholarship Campaign is a great investment in your community because it helps those who need it most--potientially your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.
Scholarship Program
Scholarships are available for people who require it, whether in direct aid or reduced
program fees. No one is turned away from the YMCA for lack of ability to pay.

needs it."
