Annual Campaign:

With your support of the Y Freedom Tri, the Vic Coppinger YMCA is able to provide funds to those who most need it through the Annual Campaign. Everyone deserves a YMCA and the benefits of its membership.  Unfortunately, not everyone can afford a membership and/or program costs. That is where the Annual program helps. Thanks to the Annual Campaign, the YMCA continues to remain flexible in its fee structure.

Please signup for the race and then consider a donation above and beyond your registration fee to help those most in need.

*The YMCA is a 501(C)(3) charitable organization. All gifts above your registration fee are tax deductible.
