Our story…
We’re Participating in the YMCA 5k! Let's send 600 Kids to camp - and build a Stronger Community!
Hi all, our family is proud to be participating in the YMCA Charity 5K as a team — and we’re doing it for a cause that’s close to our hearts: sending children to camp! This year, the YMCA is aiming to send 600 kids to camp — that’s 100 more than last year! We’re proud to be part of this mission, and we’re inviting you to help us make it happen.
Camp is more than just a fun getaway. It’s a place where children can explore nature, build confidence, make new friends, and just be themselves; often for the first time. For many families in our community, these experiences wouldn’t be possible without the support of generous donors like you.
By supporting our team, you’re not just helping send a child to camp, you’re helping build a stronger, more connected community. You’re investing in their future. You’re helping a child discover their strengths, feel included, and return home with stories, smiles, and a sense of belonging.
This 5K is about all of us, coming together as neighbours, families, and friends to lift each other up. It’s a reminder that when we support one another, we build a stronger, more connected community.
From our team and all the future YMCA campers: thank you for being part of something bigger. Let’s make this summer unforgettable, together.
With gratitude,
The Kats Krew: Brandie, Kyle, Tyler and Skye
