Montréal Edition, May 6, 2023:

DO IT FOR YOU, DO IT FOR THEM!

This May and June, families and businesses will get their communities moving, while raising crucial funds to support vulnerable people.

This friendly and inclusive WALK-and-RUN challenge will raise $100,000 to help children and families in vulnerable situations to access Y programs and facilities, either through financial support or through companions to assist those with special needs.

WHAT IS THE YMCA CHALLENGE?​

The YMCA Challenge is a festive, inclusive event held in Montreal and Quebec City by the YMCAs of Quebec Foundation. The event promotes physical, mental, and collective health in our communities while raising money for our financial assistance, Companion, and physical literacy programs.

FESTIVE IN-PERSON EVENT

We’re so excited to finally be back to our original format where we can take on the YMCA Challenge together in a festive, family-friendly, outdoor setting.

Register online for one of the 1km, 2km, 5km or 10km races or the 5km walk.

Raise funds to provide essential financial support for vulnerable youth

The goal of the YMCA Challenge is to support accessibility and inclusion to the Y’s programs, including : 

  • providing financial assistance to youth and children who would not otherwise be able to afford Y programs and facilities, particularly for camps and swim lessons.
  • providing companionship for children with special needs in our day camps.
  • introducing youth to the joy of movement and adopting healthy lifestyle habits.
