At the Y, we believe that every child should start the school year ready to excel. Unfortunately, there are youth in our community who start school without the supplies they need. Bright Beginnings aims to change that. With your support, we can help each child be positioned for success. We work with schools, local organizations, and search within our programs to identify children and families in need. We are looking for individuals to be a shopping buddy on Tuesday, August 6 from 8:00am-12:30pm.

Whether navigating the 5K course (as an individual or team) or the Fun Run course, participants will be challenged as they run through obstacles and test their strength, agility, and stamina. Proceeds from the Dirty Dozen 5K Obstacle Mud Run and Fun Run will benefit people in the community, Y innovative health programs benefiting cancer survivors and other chronic disease programs.

Your support of the Jerry Long Family YMCA's Annual Impact Fund ensures the sustainability of life-changing programs and opportunities for all in our community. Because of you and your generosity in 2023 we distributed over $281,000 back to the Clemmons community and into YMCA programs.
