Throughout the Greater La Crosse Area, countless people know the La Crosse Area Family YMCA. But there’s so much more to our Y than one might think. From exercise to education, from volleyball to volunteering, from preschool to preventive health, the Y doesn’t just transform bodies- it transforms communities.

Due to obstacles like teen mental health, economic hardships, adult and youth obesity, and disease, children, families, and individuals in our community are struggling to reach their full potential. But where society falls short, the Y steps in. For more than 136 years, the YMCA has been taking on many of the greatest challenges facing our youth, our health, and our community.

The YMCA is the Charity of Choice for many because every dollar of your gift goes directly towards continuing and expanding the programs that have been proven to transform lives in our community.

If you are interested in helping the Y raise money to support our community, consider being a fundraiser for the Maple Leaf Walk Run. All donations and proceeds from this event will help the Y make our community stronger.
