Ripple Effect

Making Waves. Changing Lives.

One splash can create a ripple. One gift can change a life.

Join the YMCA of Central Texas for The Ripple Effect, a special fundraising event benefiting the Strong Kids Campaign and celebrating the life-changing impact of aquatic programs at the Y!

At the YMCA, water is more than a place to swim. It's where children learn lifesaving skills, young athletes discover confidence and perseverance, older adults build strength and friendships, and families create memories that last a lifetime.

Through the generosity of our community, the Strong Kids Campaign helps remove financial barriers and makes these opportunities accessible to individuals and families who need them most.

Your support helps make waves through:

• Lifesaving Swim Lessons: Giving children the skills and confidence to be safer in and around water.
• Competitive Swimming: Helping young athletes develop discipline, teamwork, confidence, and a passion for reaching their goals.
• Water Aerobics & Aquatic Fitness: Supporting healthy aging, physical wellness, independence, and meaningful social connections.
• Aquatic Programs for All: Ensuring individuals of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds have opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive in the water.

When you attend The Ripple Effect, you're doing more than supporting a fundraising event. You're helping a child learn to swim, an athlete chase a dream, an older adult stay active, and a family find belonging at the Y.

Together, we can create a ripple effect of opportunity, confidence, safety, and connection throughout Central Texas.

Because the impact of one gift reaches far beyond the water.
