Your Sponsorship = Big Impact

• Youth Development – From childcare, to swim lessons, to martial arts, to camps, YMCA youth explore and achieve their full potential.
• Healthy Living – Greater health improves our lives, our families, and our community. Whether spirit, mind, or body, health, and well-being are possible and achievable with YMCA programs.
• Social Responsibility – Giving back to and supporting our neighbors simply strengthens our community. We believe everyone deserves a chance to learn, grow, and thrive

THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for Keys for the Kids! Because of the generosity of our guests, sponsors, performers, donors, and community partners, we raised more than $115,000 to support local YMCA Youth Programs! Those dollars will help create opportunities for kids across our community through swim lessons, childcare, youth sports, summer camps, teen programs, and so much more.

A special thank you to:

• Our incredible sponsors whose generosity made this event possible.
• Our talented musical performers who brought the energy, entertainment, and plenty of reasons to sing along!
• Kris Crocker, who shared the heartfelt story of her father and the role the YMCA played in helping him become what she so beautifully described as “The Ultimate All-Time Good Guy.” Kris reminded us that the impact of the Y goes far beyond a program or a place—it can shape a life, a family, and generations to come.
• And, of course, YOU! Whether you attended, sponsored, donated, volunteered, made a piano request, or cheered us on, you helped make the evening a tremendous success.

There’s Still Time to Play It Forward!
Inspired by the evening and want to help us make an even bigger impact? It’s not too late to give! Every additional gift helps open doors for local kids to learn, grow, belong, and thrive at the YMCA. Whether it helps a child learn to swim, experience summer camp, join a team, or have a safe place to learn and grow, your generosity makes it possible.

Thank you for joining us for YMCA Camp Reed Comedy Night! From the incredible energy of our amazing Camp Reed staff to the nostalgic music of Jumbo Joe and Mitch, who brought back so many wonderful camp memories, it was truly a night to remember! Special shout out to the harmonic melodies of “Ducky” Stenersen! We enjoyed delicious desserts, plenty of camp-inspired fun, and the absolutely hilarious stunt comedy of Wes Barker, who kept us laughing and stunned into the night!

But the biggest highlight of the evening?
TOGETHER, WE RAISED OVER $154,000!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our guests, sponsors, donors, and volunteers, these funds will support Camp Reed scholarships and facility improvements, helping ensure more children have the opportunity to experience the magic of camp—building friendships, discovering confidence, creating memories, and finding a place where they truly belong.

The Fun Doesn’t Have to End Here!
The laughter may have wrapped up, but the opportunity to make a difference continues! If you didn’t get a chance to give, or you’d like to make an additional gift, there’s still time to help send more kids to camp!
