Make a Difference

When you give to the Y, you’re giving back to your community and ensuring that we can all participate in programs that help us learn, grow, and thrive.  From childcare to senior programs to financial assistance for membership, your gift helps us deepen our impact in the community. Every day, the Y strengthens communities for kids, adults, seniors, and families with programs that protect, teach, connect, heal, nourish, and encourage. It’s how we help communities and the “us” who live in them find the power of their full potential. We can’t do it alone. Together, we can continue to meet our communities’ emerging needs by supporting our neighbors and giving back.

FUNDRAISING EVENTS:

Fund the Field – Turf Renovation Campaign

Help Us Build More Than a Field

At the Idaho Falls YMCA, our indoor soccer field is more than just turf—it’s a place where futures are shaped.

It’s where a 6-year-old scores their first goal and discoversconfidence.
It’s where teammates become lifelong friends.
It’s where kids learn how to lose with grace, win with humility, and grow through every game.
It’s where the community comes together—families, friends, and coaches—to cheer, encourage, and support one another.

But right now, this vital space needs your help.

That’s Why We’re Raising Funds for the Field

Our soccer arena has served thousands of children, teens, and adults over the years. With every game played, every skill practiced, and everymemory made, the field has given its all.

Now it’s our turn to give back.

Your support will allow us to:

• Replace and upgrade the turf for safety and performance

• Improve the quality of play for all ages and skill levels

• Ensure a safe, welcoming environment for the next generation of
athletes

• This renovation isn’t just about a better playing surface—it’s about
investing in the character, confidence, and community that grow on this
field.

The Impact of Your Gift

When you donate, you’re not just funding turf. You’re:

• Giving a child their first experience with teamwork

• Helping a teen stay active and connected during tough times

• Creating a space where mentorship, leadership, and belonging thrive

• Every dollar brings us closer to a field we can all be proud of—a
place where the community plays, grows, and wins together.
