Meredith Mathews East Madison YMCA 2019 Annual Philanthropy Goal: $165,000. 

The Meredith Mathews East Madison Y is working to meet Seattle’s most urgent needs by creating opportunities for everyone to improve health and reach their full potential. With your support, the Meredith Mathews East Madison Y will be able to impact the local community through various programs including:  

Water Safety Programs 

Your support teaches children and adults how to feel comfortable in the water. These programs develop lifelong skills and build confidence around water without worry of the cost of lessons. Water safety programs are focused serving communities of color where drowning rates are highest. 

Chronic Disease Prevention Programs 

Your support gives individuals on their journey to reduce their risk of health problems related to chronic diseases an opportunity to get on track with their health. Together, participants learn healthier options and make changes that can last a lifetime.  

Y Programs for All 

Your support provides families access to day camp, education programs and wellness classes regardless of their income.
