County YMCA celebrates community victory

It’s a moment worth celebrating across Okmulgee County, as the Okmulgee County Family YMCA proudly announced the successful completion of its Annual Campaign – reaching and surpassing its $75,000 local goal while contributing to an impressive $825,000 association-wide total.

The milestone marks more than just a financial achievement. It represents the power of a community coming together with a shared purpose.

“We Did It!” The YMCA shared in its announcement, celebrating the overwhelming support that made the campaign a success.

Thanks to the dedication of volunteers, staff, donors, and community partners, the YMCA will continue its mission of strengthening lives through programs focused on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

Organizers emphasized that this accomplishment was made possible by the “incredible support of our community,” high- lighting the tireless efforts of those who gave their time, energy, and resources to the campaign.

“A huge thank you to our amazing volunteers and staff who worked tirelessly to make this campaign a success,” the YMCA stated. “You are the driving force behind our mission every single day.”

The campaign’s success ensures that vital programs and services will remain accessible to individuals and families throughout Okmulgee County. From youth activities and fitness opportunities to outreach initiatives, the YMCA continues to serve as a cornerstone for connection, wellness and growth.

Leaders also expressed deep appreciation for the donors and organizations who invested in the campaign’s vision.

“We are also deeply grateful for our generous donors, supportive community partners, and local organizations who believe in the impact of the YMCA,” the statement read. “Because of you, we can continue to provide programs, resources and opportunities that strengthen our community and ensure everyone has access to health, wellness and belonging.”

Together, Okmulgee County is not just meeting goals – it’s making a lasting difference.
