CAPITAL CAMPAIGN


 

 

2025 was another historic year at the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA, thanks to your generous support of our mission and that of so many other wonderful donors like you!   

 

After opening our new Y Child Development Center in March, we successfully completed several impactful improvements in the fall of 2025 to our facility:

  • North Gym Renovation: Installation of a new track surface, updated lighting, fresh paint, and enhanced natural light.
  • Men’s & Women’s Locker Rooms: Upgrades included new lockers, flooring, lighting, countertops, and ceilings.
  • New Fitness Studio: Creation of a dedicated studio space with new flooring, fresh paint, and new mirrors.
  • Refreshed West Gym: Newly painted throughout, new wall pads, plus enhanced visibility with two new windows.

Looking ahead to 2026, we will continue investing in our mission, safety, accessibility, and connection. Planned improvements include a renovated Child Development Nutrition Center, a new elevator, critical roof repairs, and enhancements to the Schauer Gym, lobby, conference rooms, and a new chapel—ensuring our facility supports a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

Thank you for the vital part you have played in our Building a Legacy for Tomorrow Campaign. None of these improvements would have been possible without your generosity. Your support empowers us to continue meeting the evolving needs of families across Sidney and Shelby County, and we are deeply grateful for your commitment to our mission.


 Our Community needs the Y! Here are just a few reasons why.
