This is your Y, and your membership has always been about more than access to a building. Your Y membership is about making connections and building relationships. It’s about ensuring everyone—no matter who they are or where they come from—gets the support they need to reach their full potential. It’s about making your contribution to a stronger community. And we need that contribution more than ever right now.
Membership dues will continue to be drafted so that we can sustain our YMCA during this time and ensure we can come back as strong as ever after the Safer at Home mandate lifts. We understand this may not be a possibility for everyone and we are offering some options.
- Stay with us and convert your monthly dues into a charitable donation.
- Stay with us and request an adjustment to your dues schedule.
- If needed, cancel your membership.
Have further questions about your membership? Contact us and we will see how we can help.
A letter from our President & CEO
March 27, 2020
As you know, we made the difficult decision, for the health and safety of our community and our team, to close our facilities last week. We realize that this pandemic is hitting everyone very hard, whether it be physically, mentally or financially. Throughout our 130-year history, our membership base has helped our Y overcome obstacles and provide for our local communities.
Although we cannot be open with our typical operations, we are supporting those who are on the frontlines of the fight against this virus by providing childcare for children of healthcare workers, first responders and other essential infrastructure personnel. Additionally, we are reaching out to members over 60 years old and maintaining operations to support our troops at the Military Welcome Center.
We are proud to be able to meet this pressing community need. But due to our scaled-back operations, we need your help.
Membership dues will be drafted on April 1 and 15, 2020 as scheduled. We are asking you to please Stay with Us and help sustain our YMCA during this time and ensure we can come back as strong as ever after the Safer at Home mandate lifts, which at this time is April 16, 2020.
If you would prefer to convert your monthly membership dues to a charitable donation, that is an option as well. Please click here to convert your membership dues.
Your YMCA membership has always been about more than access to a building. Your Y membership is about making connections and building relationships. It’s about ensuring everyone—no matter who they are or where they come from—gets the support they need to reach their full potential. It’s about making your contribution to a stronger community. And we need that contribution more than ever right now.
We understand that times are difficult, and this is not an option for everyone. If you cannot afford to continue paying your monthly dues, we do have other options. Please contact us at [email protected] if you need to make other arrangements. If you draft at the first of the month, please notify us of any changes you’d like made to your account by 8 p.m. on March 31 to provide enough time to make adjustments.
We are committed to being there for you and our community when the tough work of recovery begins. In the meantime, we need you to be there for us—to help us deliver emergency services, support our wonderful staff and sustain our organization so we’re able to jump back into action when the time comes.
So please, stay with us. Please continue supporting the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City. And until we see you again, take care, stay safe and healthy.
Sincerely,
Kelly Kay
President & CEO
