 About Our Annual Change A Life
Campaign
Each year, thousands of individuals learn to swim,
play and compete in youth sports leagues, go to summer
camp, become healthy and active and make new friends at the
YMCA. The YMCA of East Tennessee’s annual Change a Life campaign ensures that no one is denied the opportunity
to share in the YMCA experience due to an inability
to pay.
Your donation to the 2008 Change A LIfe campaign truly makes a difference. As a supporter of the campaign,
your gift benefits children, adults and families by
making YMCA memberships and programs available to
everyone. For over 150 years, our YMCA has been building
strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.
In 2006, the YMCA of Tennessee raised over $250,000
to provide financial assistance for thousands of
families throughout the community. As the requests
increase, so does the need for funds to provide these
services. Your donation is an investment in our community
and all dollars raised in the local community stay
in the community to support kids and families.

 About
Our Be a Champion for Kids Capital Campaign
Now more than ever, East Tennessee
needs the proper facilities to foster fitnessand
wellness. We are facing a health crisis, with obesity
and the many health concerns it creates. The YMCA
has an aggressive plan including the renovation of
our Downtown YMCA, building a new full facility YMCA
at Concord Park, and partnering with Knoxville Youth
Sports to build a YMCA at Lakeshore Park.
We’ve been serving the bodies,
minds and spirits of thousands of people since 1854.
We’ve seen our community’s needs and
we’ve responded with action for more than 152
years.
Today, our response is focused on two
new facilities and renovating the Downtown YMCA so
that every person in every program can achieve his
or her potential ever day. At the YMCA of East Tennessee
we’re building a healthier community on person
at a time.
We need your help to make that possible!
