THE DASH SUPPORTS THE LOCAL COMMUNITY IN CHATHAM

All event proceeds support the Chatham community through YMCA after school, summer day camp and membership scholarships. Annually, the Chatham YMCA provides $80,000 worth of scholarships for LOCAL child care and youth-serving programs where we seek to build people through outdoor activities, sports and leadership development. These scholarships also support the community in living a healthy lifestyle and finding a place where they belong at the YMCA. Learn more about the YMCA Annual Campaign and how it opens our doors wider while sustaining and extending our community reach.
