Opportunities to Give

Support our YMCA by making a one-time donation or becoming a monthly donor.

Upcoming Fundraiser

We are hosting a Pancake Breakfast on Giving Tuesday, December 2nd!

Drop in for pancakes and sausages at Frank Rudderham YMCA Community Room from 8:00 to 10:00 am. We want to say a warm “thank you” to our Donors and Members for supporting our Y’s mission.

Your generosity on this day will help remove barriers and create lifechanging moments—moments of joy, connection, courage, and belonging. When you give, you help someone feel seen, supported, and empowered to shine.

No registration needed and the breakfast is offered at no cost.

Other Ways to Give

We aim to provide safe, accessible community spaces where everyone belongs.

You can direct your gift to YMCA capital improvements to ensure that the YMCA facilities and assets remain relevant, sustainable, and environmentally friendly as we serve our community today and for generations to come.

We can’t do this work alone! When you support the Y, you are helping us achieve our vision of thriving communities where everyone can shine and feel they belong… you, your business or your group of friends can make a difference. There are several ways you can get involved:

  • Employee payroll giving
  • Raffle
  • Fundraiser sales (clothing, crafts, bake sales, etc.)
  • Donating proceeds from special events
  • Checkout campaigns + more

If your group or organization would like to host a fundraiser, where proceeds or a portion of the proceeds are donated to the YMCA of Cape Breton, connect with Jeff MacNeil, Manager of Fund Development: jeff.macneil@cb.ymca.ca or 902-919-796

Leave a legacy to the YMCA of Cape Breton and your gift will have impact for future generations.
