For more than 20 years, the YMCA Camp Reed annual fundraiser has helped provide life-changing camp experiences for thousands of children. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, sponsors, and guests, we continue to ensure that every child has the opportunity to experience the confidence, friendships, independence, and memories that make Camp Reed “the BEST!”
Proceeds from Camp Reed Comedy Night help send kids to camp regardless of financial ability while also supporting ongoing improvements that keep Camp Reed a safe and welcoming place for generations to come.
In 2025 alone, support from our community helped send hundreds of campers to Camp Reed who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to attend. Every ticket purchased, sponsorship secured, and donation made helps keep the spirit of Camp Reed alive for future campers.

Interested in becoming a YMCA Camp Reed Advisory board member?
Branch Advisory boards drive the mission of the YMCA through local branch engagement with volunteers, staff, members, program participants, and donors.
Time Commitment
Advisory Board meetings are held at least once quarterly for 60-90 minutes, typically during the workweek. Also, each advisory board member is expected to serve on a committee that would generally meet monthly for an hour. Advisory board members are also asked to attend special events throughout the year.
Typical Board Member Responsibilities
- Ensure effective planning. Boards must actively participate in an overall strategic
planning process and assist in implementing and monitoring the plan’s goals. - Ensure adequate financial resources. One of the board’s foremost responsibilities is to
secure adequate ongoing financial resources through Philanthropy in Action and other
fundraising vehicles for the organization to fulfill its mission. - Enhance the organization’s public standing. The advisory board should clearly
articulate the organization’s mission, accomplishments, and goals to the public and garner
support from the community. - Build a competent board. All advisory boards have a responsibility to articulate
prerequisites for candidates, orient new members, and periodically and comprehensively
evaluate their own performance. - Support the staff. The advisory board should work in partnership to support the branch
executive by providing input to achieve assigned branch goals. - Ensure legal and ethical integrity. The board is ultimately responsible for adherence to
legal standards and ethical norms.
In partnering with the Y as an advisory board member, you can feel confident your contribution will make a meaningful, lasting impact on our community and in the individual lives of many.
