The Win More than Games Place

Give Every Child a Place to Play and Belong

Join Us for Colorado Youth Sports Giving Day | September 1 – 15, 2026

At the YMCA of Metro Denver, we believe youth sports are about so much more than the final score. They build confidence, friendships, leadership skills and lifelong resilience.

That's why we're proud to be part of Colorado Youth Sports Giving Day—a statewide movement where you can help ensure every child has the opportunity not just to play, but to belong and be a part of something bigger than themselves.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT:

Thanks to generous sponsors, every online gift made September 1–15 will be boosted by match and incentive funds! That means your gift goes twice as far to help kids gain the life skills that come from playing sports.

Match funds are limited — make your gift ONLINE beginning at 6 PM MST on September 1 to maximize your impact!

Your Gift in Action:

$30 → provides a sports jersey to one child, giving them the confidence of wearing their team colors and feeling like they truly belong from the very first practice.
$85 → provides one child with access to Soccer Academy, helping them learn the value of teamwork on and off the field.
$110 → funds a full NinjaZone session for one child, helping them build lifelong confidence and develop new skills.
$350 → gives two siblings the opportunity to play a full season of NFL Flag Football, creating memories together while building resilience and a sense of belonging.
$930 → provides a volleyball season for a team of six young athletes, creating a space where they can grow as players, support one another, and learn resilience that extends far beyond the court.

Your gift brings a child one step closer to the joy of being part of a team.

Get Back while you Give Back:

Your generosity not only strengthens our community—it can also benefit you during tax season. Gifts to qualifying YMCA programs are eligible for a 50% Colorado Child Care Contribution Credit, meaning you receive half your donation back at tax time.

Giving Activity

Mission

The mission of the YMCA of Metropolitan Denver is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

Background Statement

Since before Colorado was named a state, the YMCA of Metro Denver has been building strong, thriving and equitable communities. The challenges our community faces are significant: health inequity, nutrition access, social isolation, mental health issues, racial disparities, unemployment, unhoused families and individuals and disproportionately high costs of living.

Yet, the Y is here, as we have been for nearly a century and a half, as a welcoming third place between home and work or school — sometimes virtual, sometimes in person and always offering community connection, family support, healthful movement, personal growth and life-long learning.

For every stage in life, for all people, at all times, the YMCA is here.
