CLARION, Pa. — The Clarion County YMCA is participating in the 2018 Bridge Builders Community Foundations Week of Giving from March 19-23.

Bridge Builders Community Foundations hosts the Week of Giving campaign to spur collective charitable giving and garner excitement that will allow donors to give to nonprofits throughout Clarion, Forest and Venango counties as well as the community of Punxsutawney.

Last year, within five days, over $103,000.00 was generated for local nonprofits through the Week of Giving campaign.

Bridge Builders Community Foundations launched the first area Week of Giving event in 2017 to spur collective charitable giving that was pro-rated through the foundation.  An anonymous donor took care of all of the online transaction fees, and all of the money donated went directly to the charities.  Bridge Builders was able to provide a 25% match through the generosity of their Partner in Giving, Northwest Savings Bank.

The YMCA serves the heart of the community through popular youth sports programs, youth activities, and wellness programming. And as always, no child, adult or family will ever be turned away from a program because of their inability to pay.

In 2017, over 150 local residents received YMCA scholarship assistance.   Scholarships are made possible through the generous contributions of local donors through Annual Support Campaign and the Bridge Builders Week of Giving from March 19-23 at www.bbcfgives.org.

The Clarion County YMCA 2018 Annual Campaign goal is $65,000.00.  Donate at www.bbcfgives.org from March 19-23.
