The YMCA of Brandon is asking the community for donations throughout 2026 to support its health, fitness, and child care programs in Brandon, Manitoba. These contributions help fund leadership development and exercise classes to ensure all residents can participate, regardless of their financial situation.
As a registered charity, the organization uses these funds to bridge the gap for low-income families and individuals. President and CEO Lon Cullen oversees the facility, which relies on private donations to supplement user fees and keep services accessible for everyone in the community.
The money raised supports a variety of local services, including child care and youth leadership initiatives. These ongoing fundraising efforts allow the organization to maintain its current programs while working to expand access to more people during the year.
Community members can make contributions through the organization’s website or via the Brandon Area Community Foundation. The foundation manages a specific endowment fund that is dedicated to supporting the long-term work of the YMCA.
