Week of Giving

TOGETHER WE CHANGE LIVES

Our Week of Giving campaign is 7 days devoted to philanthropy, advancing our mission and making an impact on children and families in our communities.

Each year our YMCA raises awareness and critical funds in our branches through a Week of Giving campaign. This year’s campaign runs June 6 – 12.

All donations will help us advance our mission and impact even more people in our communities.

The positive impact of the YMCA is needed now more than ever. With your help, we can ensure that everyone, regardless of age, ability, income or background, has what they need to learn, grow and thrive with the Y’s support.

Your support, of any area of the YMCA that is meaningful to you, helps ensure that everyone has the opportunity to experience the Y—making our community stronger.

DID YOU KNOW?

  • Charitable giving is vital to the success of our YMCA. Revenue we receive from our daily operations cannot fully fund the incredible needs of those in our community who count on us every day. That’s why YMCA staff and volunteers dedicate time each year to raising awareness, building relationships, and asking for philanthropic support to our annual Reach Out Campaign.
  • Reach Out is our Y’s annual campaign that ensures we continue to address diverse, emerging, and critical human needs across the 15 communities we serve.
  • In 2021, our YMCA provided $2.1 million in confidential scholarships and program subsidies to our neighbors in need to experience our YMCA programs and services regardless of ability to pay.
  • More than 1,425 of our area youth benefit from a day camp experience at our Y branches every day in the summer …creating memories & friendships that will last a lifetime and experiencing their Best Summer Ever. 23% of our campers receive confidential scholarship assistance made possible by the support of friends and donors like you.

It’s the generosity of people like you that helps ensure a Y experience is available to all. With help from the Hockomock Area YMCA’s Annual Reach Out Campaign, Lily was able to enjoy and thrive at summer camp.

Watch Lily’s camp journey at our YMCA.

Lily’s grandmother Terry shares: The Y has provided so many opportunities that I couldn’t possibly have offered my granddaughter. Lily could not be in a better, safer, more nurturing place than at the Hockomock Y.

Every Gift Makes a Difference

  • $50 – Provides a family-size bag of groceries
  • $50 – Provides a child with a month of youth programs such as sports, gymnastics, swim or enrichment

Your support, of any area of the YMCA that is meaningful to you, helps ensure that friends and neighbors have the opportunity to experience the Y—making our community stronger.

Become A YMCA Volunteer

Charitable giving is vital to the success of our YMCA. Revenue we receive from our daily operations cannot fully fund the incredible needs of those in our community who count on us every day. That’s why YMCA staff and volunteers dedicate time each year to raising awareness, building relationships, and asking for philanthropic support to our annual Reach Out Campaign.

To do our important work as a non-profit committed to the community, we rely on the support and hard work of dedicated volunteers to help us make a difference. Will you join us?

TOGETHER WE’RE STRONGER

Reach Out volunteers are integral to showing others how we positively impact the lives of those around us through telling their own stories, inviting people to engage in our YMCA, and asking for philanthropic investments to help us reach and impact more people.

THE ROLE OF A CAMPAIGN VOLUNTEER:

  • Attend an informational meeting with YMCA staff to become equipped with the tools you need to be a successful campaign volunteer.
  • Recruit attendees to the Reach Out Campaign Breakfast in June.
  • Educate and advocate for the Y’s cause by sharing with family and friends how our YMCA has impacted our communities.
  • Make a gift to the Y that is meaningful to you.
  • Raise an additional $300 above your personal contribution from your friends, family, co-workers, etc. who believe in the Y’s mission work.
    • Our Reach Out Campaign raises money for families and individuals who could otherwise not fully afford YMCA programs and services or who are in need of essential services.

Thank you for your consideration in joining us in this important effort and volunteer role.

To become a Reach Out Campaign volunteer, please contact Nicole Bartlett, Director of Annual Giving & Special events at nicoleb@hockymca.org or 508-643-5235.

Weigh to Change Program

Our Weigh to Change program will support and guide you in your quest to look and feel better.

The program is offered for all our Y branches with virtual and in-person options. The 10-week winter program will run from January 17th through March 26th. We also have programs offered in the Spring and throughout 2022 to fit your schedule.

Several Weigh-to-Changers shared their thoughts on the program.

“Weigh to Change taught me how to eat healthier and realize what I was putting in my body. I loved learning new exercises that I could do at home too. Since I started WTC, I am down 50 pounds by continuing to follow everything I learned. I can’t thank the Y and all of the WTC staff enough!” ~ Katelyn, WTC Participant


“Weigh to Change is a great program. You get to meet with a nutritionist, a one-on-one certified trainer, and have group workouts with other trainers to keep you accountable. I keep coming back to the program. I have improved my form and my range of motion from a hurt shoulder.” ~ Kelsey, WTC Participant


“It’s not a program-it’s a lifestyle boost! Every aspect of your life- physical, mental and social is positively effected. You gain knowledge and friendships from other members and staff. Life changing. Immersive.” ~ Christine, WTC Participant


“The WTC program taught me to stop fad dieting, stop calorie counting and stop watching the scale. It taught me how to prepare and enjoy eating delicious healthy meals while allowing for eating something I enjoyed, in moderation, without the guilt. It taught me the importance of being active at least 30 minutes a day by offering a variety of workouts so I could find the ones I enjoyed and would continue to do on my own. It taught me that, in addition to eating healthy and being active each day, it’s also important to get 8 hours of sleep each night to re-energize my body. The takeaway for me was finding Balance in my life. Thank you to everyone at the YMCA!” ~ Renee, WTC Participant


The WTC program provides support and education in both fitness and nutrition. By combining physical training and better nutrition, participants benefit in the most successful way to achieve weight loss. Participants will be challenged throughout the ten weeks with personal training, nutrition guidance, group workouts, and friendly challenge competitions.

Our Weigh to Change Program includes:

  • 30-Minute Weekly Personal Training Session each week
  • Nutrition Consults & Accountability Check-In’s
  • Pre & Post Styku Body Measurement Scans
  • Four Nutrition/Wellness Workshops
  • Private Weigh to Change ONLY Small Group Workouts
  • Group Step Challenge
  • Private Facebook Group

Cost:
$499/Hockomock Area YMCA Members
$599/Nonmembers
Over an $800 value. Payment plans available. 10% discount for Alumni.

For more information or questions, please contact Jocelyn Lubniewski at jocelynl@hockymca.org or call 508-643-5263.

“We definitely recommend this program to anyone who is serious about making a commitment to how they want to look and feel about their life,” recommends Mike & Marilyn, WTC participants.

Inclement Weather Policy

The safety of our members and staff is a priority for our YMCA. During extreme weather conditions we employ an inclement weather policy, using our website home page and branch home pages to alert members of any facility closings or delays and class cancellations.

FACILITY CLOSINGS AND DELAYED OPENINGS

The Hockomock Area YMCA will monitor the weather during the winter months and will be mindful of the safety of our members and staff when deciding to continue a consistent class schedule or to modify the schedule based on the weather conditions.

For all group exercise classes, youth programming and adult programming, the Hockomock Area YMCA will make a decision two hours prior to the start of class and will notify all participants via our website and our Facebook pages.

In the case that the YMCA must close, this communication will be done through our website, Facebook pages and on our phone messages.

CHILD CARE CANCELLATIONS AND DELAYS

It is our intention to operate Child Care and our school-age School’s Out program during regularly scheduled hours. Please be sure to provide your contact information and cell phone number to the facilitator of your child’s program who will alert you in case of any delay or cancellation.

Our YMCA announced that Dante Scarnecchia, former assistant head coach for the New England Patriots, will be the recipient of the 2021 Legends Award at the 16th annual Legends Ball on November 30th. The announcement was made at our Legends Golf Classic on October 18th hosted by TPC Boston. Coach Scarnecchia was on hand to acknowledge the honor that will recognize his commitment and passion to our YMCA’s Integration Initiative.

Ed Hurley, CEO of the Hockomock Area YMCA, said, “I’ve had the privilege and honor to get to know this individual over the years.” Ed continued, “You talk about people who are class acts, who give back and who believe in being part of their community. This person truly exemplifies these qualities.”

“Every time I’ve ever asked Dante Scarnnechia to help in any way at our YMCA, the answer has always been ‘yes,’” says Hurley. “We can’t have a better ambassador for the Integration Initiative, for our Hockomock Area YMCA than Coach Dante Scarnecchia. It’s my pleasure and honor to announce that our 2021 Legends Ball Honoree will be Dante Scarnecchia.” YMCA supporters, friends, sports legends, Integration Initiative participants and their families, volunteers and staff congratulated Scarenecchia upon the announcement.

On receiving this recognition Scarnecchia remarked, “What a great day it is for the Legends Golf Classic and what a great privilege it is to be here today. Let’s have a great day.” Scarnecchia, a five time Super Bowl Champion, is a legendary coach for the New England Patriots for 34 years.

Past honorees have included Kyle Van Noy, Brian Flores, Matthew Slater, Rob Ninkovich, Devin McCourty, Tim Fox, Nate Solder, Peter Brock, Rick and Dick Hoyt, Matt Light and Joe Andruzzi. Coach Scarnecchia was surrounded by participants of the Y’s Integration Initiative on the putting green before the 12th annual Legends Golf Classic began. There were also sports legends on hand to congratulate Coach including his former players Patriots Guard & 3-time Super Bowl Champion Joe Andruzzi and Patriots Center and 2-time Super Bowl Champion Russ Hochstein.

The 16th annual Legends Ball will take place on November 30th. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Hockomock Area YMCA’s Integration Initiative, established in 2004, which provides opportunities for children, young adults and adults with special needs to participate in YMCA programs and activities alongside their typically-developing peers. The program improves social skills, builds self-esteem, increases physical activity and independence, and enhances mutual respect among people of all abilities. Since its inception, the Integration Initiative has served more than 1,300 children and families by connecting children with special needs and their families to the community at large by removing barriers to inclusion.

Sports fans and friends of the Hockomock Area YMCA who are interested in sponsoring the Legends Ball may contact Katie Moore at katiem@hockymca.org.
