The YMCA of Northern Colorado & Southern Wyoming invites you to the 15th Annual Y Splash. This is an extra special Y Splash, honoring our 150th anniversary of Y programs in Northern Colorado. Join us for a historic evening where we will mingle, dine, give and celebrate the Y’s enduring impact in our community.
Whether it’s tackling food insecurity, uplifting underresourced families or opening our doors as a shelter during fires and floods, the Y provides opportunities for our neighbors to overcome, recover, create connection, find purpose and thrive. The night’s proceeds benefit the thousands of children, adults and seniors who need the YMCA of Northern Colorado & Southern Wyoming’s childcare, camps, youth sports, swim lessons, teen leadership, health and wellness programs.
Together, we can make the Y an everlasting source of equity, enrichment and empowerment for our neighbors. Want to learn more more about the Y’s 150-year legacy? Visit the history section.
Before Colorado was a state or the University of Colorado opened its doors, the Boulder YMCA was founded in October 1874 by local church leaders. The early YMCA offered opportunities for socializing, reading, prayer, lectures, music and recreation. By the early 1900s, residents could take classes at the Y, including commercial law, bookkeeping, advertising and glee club.
In the following decades, the YMCA evolved to meet the changing needs of its community and of society as a whole. The Y became a more inclusive organization. It uplifted families with childcare, camp and parent-child bonding opportunities. It launched group swim lessons and youth sports programs. It developed wellness programs and opened fitness centers, providing spaces and services for adults and seniors seeking to nurture their spirit, mind and body. Community became the organization’s calling.
Today, the YMCA of Northern Colorado strengthens the foundations of community. We do that in countless ways. We provide character-building after-school programs, preschool and summer camps. We teach children life-saving swimming skills. We offer support for adults with Parkinson’s, cancer and chronic diseases. We rise to respond to crises. We fill gaps to support families and individuals when they need it most.
The community needs the Y, and the Y needs donors like you.
Prior to and during our event, attendees will bid on our virtual silent auction for a chance to win great items, gift cards, adventures and trips, all while supporting local families and children in our community. The live auction will take place in-person during the event. If you have a silent or live auction item you would like to donate, please reach out to development@ymcanoco.org.
