Good morning ASY Supporters!

The San Diego Armed Services YMCA is excited to announce the kick off of the first-ever GiveBIG San Diego online giving event with the San Diego Foundation!   Starting now (December 14th) through  tomorrow at 7pm, you can donate securely online to the San Diego Armed Services YMCA.   The San Diego Foundation will match donations made during this time on a pro-rated basis so that we can make the most of our donations!   All donations we receive will go directly to Armed Services YMCA programs that make military life easier for our local service members and their families!       SAN DIEGO ARMED SERVICES YMCA Donation Page 

Visit our Supporting ASY Flyer or our photo albums to view our free programs and events for military families. Currently we serve 9,000 service members and their family members each month, and we would not be able to serve this many families without strong community support!

Please consider re-posting this information on your company website or Facebook page!  As more ASY supporters re-post and promote this opportunity for the ASYMCA, we will be able to raise more funds for our free programs for military families.  All ASY Supporters who give online or re-post the ASYMCA Donation Page, will have a chance to win two tickets to see this Sunday’s Chargers Game against the Baltimore Ravens on 12/18, courtesy of the Chargers, if you email bcatton@asymcasd.org by December 15th at 8pm. (The winner will be notified via phone and email and must be able to pick up the tickets at the ASY on 12/16. )
