"The Y is an amazing melting pot – a place that nurtures the spirits, minds, and bodies of a diverse community."

– Caine Halter, 2006

On October 16, 2023, the Caine Halter Family YMCA launched the public phase of Building a Brighter Tomorrow, a capital campaign that reflects the best of our past and ignites the best for our future.

The campaign will engage members of our community in an effort to:

  • Dissolve waitlists for children ages 3-11 who want to develop athletic and life skills through our youth sports programs
  • Provide adaptive sports spaces and leagues for children and adults with diverse abilities
  • Continue our efforts to prevent accidental childhood drownings
  • Add outdoor spaces to better serve children and families in our afterschool program, summer camps and RECESS program
  • Increase partnership opportunities with local, like-minded non-profits serving our Greenville neighbors

This campaign will result in a stronger YMCA that has the resources necessary to carry out its time-honored mission to provide a place for ALL people, regardless of their ability to pay, to build healthy mind, body, and spirit.

Join us as we invest together to Build a Brighter Tomorrow for our Y, our neighbors, our Greenville.
