EVERETT, WA. March 10, 2025 – The YMCA of Snohomish County wrapped up its 3^rd Annual My Y Week, exceeding expectations and surpassing its $40,000 fundraising goal by bringing in over $42,500 in financial support. Throughout My Y Week, community partners donated $1 for every member check-in from March 2 – 8, 2025, generating excitement and participation for the 2025 Community Campaign.

This year’s My Y Week partners, LifeWise Health Plan of Washington, BASE by Pros, UBS, Tapped Public House, Tulalip Resort Casino, Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians, Angel of the Winds Casino Resort, Coastal Community Bank, Harbour Pointe Men’s Club, Home Run Solutions, and Mukilteo ACE Hardware, share in the Y’s mission of creating a healthy, connected community for all, regardless of an individual’s ability to pay.

These partners support the Y because they recognize the importance of strong community partnerships in promoting health and well-being. Their contributions help ensure that everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, has access to the programs and resources they need to thrive.

“At LifeWise, we know that health and wellness start outside of the doctor’s office and in our communities,” said Miranda Howard, LifeWise Health Plan of Washington. “Where our scope of expertise is within the healthcare system, the Y can meet our members’ needs for community and holistic wellness. Partnering to support one another in our areas of expertise strengthens the fabric of our community.”

The 2025 Community Campaign aims to raise $1.6 million to provide equitable access to all YMCA programs, including swimming lessons, youth sports, and child care. Last year, the Y granted $2.5 million in financial assistance and funds raised this year will help close the gap.

“Our community sponsors believe in the impact of the Y,” said Jennifer Willows, Chief Development Officer of YMCA of Snohomish County. “We want to extend a huge ‘thank you’ for their generous support and their commitment to community.”

Participation from YMCA members was also key to My Y Week’s success.

“We’re incredibly grateful to our Y members who showed up in full force,” said Willows. “Over 42,500 check-ins across our six facilities translated directly into financial support for the Community Campaign. It’s inspiring to see our members make such a meaningful difference just by being here.”

With three weeks remaining in this year’s Community Campaign, the Y hopes the energy and excitement generated during My Y Week will inspire even more individuals to give. To learn more about the 2025 Community Campaign, please visit ymca-snoco.org/community-campaign.
