Sponsorships

In partnership with the business community, the YMCA offers an array of association wide and branch specific event and program sponsorship opportunities that touch the lives of over 100,000 families in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Livingston counties. These sponsorships enable the YMCA to enrich people’s lives by providing experiences that cultivate the core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, while recognizing the contributions of the business community.
