Shine Bright with the Fill The Bus Campaign!
With our annual Fill The Bus Campaign, we’re on a mission to send kids to YMCA Camp, programs, and services, creating life-changing experiences!
This year, our goal is to raise $200,000 to fill 30 school buses, each carrying 33 kids, for a week of unforgettable camp adventures. Every $200 raised brings another child on board, opening the door to new friendships, personal growth, and lasting memories.
Your donation stays within the community, giving local kids the chance to step out of their comfort zones, discover new skills, and feel a deep sense of belonging and social connection. Together, we can help these young stars shine brighter than ever!
Have questions about Fill The Bus? Reach out to us at donations@swo.ymca.ca. Let’s make this journey one to remember - Shine on!
Please Note: We use a company called Zeffy to process our donations. They do not charge transaction fees, so your entire donation goes directly to the YMCA of Southwestern Ontario. The platform does give you the option to add a tip to help Zeffy keep running its services; however, if you don’t want to add one, in the confirmation message just choose “Other” (in the drop-down menu) and then enter $0. The Y will still get your full donation. Thank you!
Please note: tax receipts will automatically be issued for all donations of $20 or more.
