The YMCA is pushing their membership renewal to all members, especially if you receive a scholarship to financially assist you or your family’s membership. If you are a recipient, you’re urged to reapply by the end of September. This is so the Door County YMCA can assess any occupational and income changes and then offer you a new rate. The scholarships are awarded to those successfully enrolled in the YMCA’s Membership For All program, which is a sliding scale fee to help families regardless of income. Because of the program, Director of Financial Development, Membership, and Marketing Tonya Felhofer says you shouldn’t let the YMCA price tag you’ll see on their pamphlets scare you away. 

The YMCA’s annual campaign fund, which typically raises over $500,000, is a big help to membership assistance. Felhofer says the YMCA is also encouraging you to renew your membership by the end of the month if you use the Northern Door facility in Fish Creek.
