Our Cause
LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA fills an important community need by supporting the increasing number of cancer survivors, who are in a transitional period between completing their treatments and feeling physically and emotionally strong enough to return to regular activity. LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA offers:
- Free, 12-week Y membership for the survivor and their family
- Two 75-minute classes each week
- Small group setting (1:6 instructor ratio)
- Full access to YMCA facilities, including Childwatch childcare services
- Designed for adults who are undergoing or who have completed their cancer treatment
The goals of this program are to Improve energy levels and self-esteem, build muscle mass and strength, increase flexibility and endurance, improve the functional ability to do everyday tasks, reduce the severity of therapy side-effects and prevent unwanted weight changes, and develop an ongoing physical fitness program so participants can continue to practice a healthy lifestyle, not only as a part of recovery but as a way of life.
Multi-Person Pricing
Multi-Person Pricing gives a $5.00 discount for up to 8 people in your household. Multi-Person pricing is available through race day.
