Mission Possible

A local family finds support at the YMCA after a medical emergency.

We Build People

While many social service organizations care for people once they are in crisis, the YMCA provides nurturing programs to bring families together and prevent many problems before they begin.

The YMCA is a place where everyone is welcome regardless of age, race, religion or financial circumstances. Each year, through the annual giving campaign, We Build People, your gifts provide the financial assistance to ensure that YMCA’s programs and services are available to children and families who need them the most.

We Build People helps men, women and children of all ages. Your gift will have a major impact in our community, bringing a family together, helping a child learn to swim or discovering all the adventures that await them at camp.

Learn more about how you can support the YMCA of South Hampton Road’s Annual We Build People campaign. Contact Gina Shafer, Executive Director, at (757) 399-5511 or gschafer@ymcashr.org.

George Williams Society



	George Williams

"I believe that if earnest devoted self-denying people can be found to unite themselves together, God will smile upon their efforts and much good might be done." Sir George Williams, Founder of the Young Men's Christian Association, June 1844, London, England

Among the annual donors who support the YMCA through the We Build People campaign is a special, deeply dedicated group. These are the members of the George Williams Society. With an annual gift of $1,000 or more, you will have the opportunity to join with other George Williams Society members at a special event held in your honor. Your contribution will be acknowledged on a recognition board displayed at 14 YMCA of South Hampton Roads family centers and facilities, and in the annual report. You will also receive an invitation to the YMCA of South Hampton Roads annual meeting.

Most of all as a George Williams Society member, you’ll feel a quiet pride in the good you do. By joining the George Williams Society, you make a powerful lasting statement about the value of the YMCA in people’s lives and you inspire others to give more generously themselves.
