A fun, one-day giving event 


YMCA Day of Giving

Monday, March 2 2026

The Piedmont Family YMCA Day of Giving is a one-day event where Charlottesville Y members come together to support the programs and people that make this Y so special. Every dollar raised helps us do more for kids, families, and neighbors right here in Charlottesville and the surrounding counties.

Our Goal: 100 donors in 24 hours

Your Impact

At the Y, your support includes:

  • Teaching approximately 2,500 local public school elementary children to swim each year
  • Partnering with Charlottesville City and Greene County Schools to offer high-quality, safe after-school programming so parents can work
  • Providing enriching summer camps for kids at an affordable price
  • Free teen summer memberships
  • Nearly $800,000 in program scholarships
  • And more!

Why Give?

Day of Giving is a celebration of what makes the Y extraordinary. It's the day we show up for each other, invest in our neighbors, and fuel the programs that turn strangers into teammates and goals into shared victories.

From swim lessons that save lives to after-school programs that nurture young minds, every dollar raised stays local and powers real change. This is your opportunity to help the Y continue being the place where kids find belonging, families find support, and communities grow stronger together.

There's no place like the Y—and no better time to give.
