ALL EVENT PROCEEDS GO TO BENEFIT
CLC YMCA MEMBERSHIP SCHOLARSHIPS
Central Lincoln County YMCA scholarships support community members who need financial assistance. YMCA members enjoy free group exercise classes and other programs, and have access to our state-of-the-art fitness center, elevated walking track, tennis facility, and more.
Thanks to our generous donors, we’re able to offer reduced-rate membership on an income-based sliding scale, with additional financial assistance for special circumstances.
Note: Donors to the Central Lincoln County Membership Scholarship Fund do not receive any goods and services of monetary value for gifts made. Your gift to the CLC YMCA is tax-deductible as allowed by law. If gifts exceed the Scholarship Fund goal, the additional funds raised will be used to support the CLC YMCA Annual Fund to support our greatest needs. The CLC Y is a 501 (c)(3) organization registered with the State of Maine. Charter #19890499ND.
