At the heart of the Foglia YMCA is the
power to transform—both yourself
and the world around you.
A CLOSER LOOK
From teaching its youngest members how to swim to providing
childcare for moms and dads who would like to be healthy for
their families, the Foglia YMCA supports and strengthens the Lake
Zurich community it serves. But the support it provides to this
town extends far beyond the center walls. Every holiday season,
the Foglia YMCA organizies its members to lend a hand to their
neighbors in need through its Annual Giving Tree collection.
Throughout the holiday season members donate clothes, toys
and books to the Tree, which Foglia Y staff then bring to a
domestic violence shelter and counseling program in Lake County.
The gifts collected are used to replenish the holiday store at
the shelter, where women and children who stay there can shop
for one another’s presents at no cost to them. Last year, Foglia
YMCA members donated more than 600 new items to the shelter,
helping make a brighter holiday season for the entire Lake Zurich
community.
THE Y MEETS COMMUNITY NEEDS
At the Y, we strengthen community through youth development,
healthy living and social responsibility because we believe in
nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving our
community’s health and well-being and giving back and providing
support for our neighbors. From fitness to wellness to community
service, everything we do at the Y is an exercise in possibility.

HELP US GROW
STRONGER TOGETHER
You too can change a life by making
a gift to the Foglia YMCA. Because
membership dues and program fees
support our daily operations, 100%
of your gift will go directly to serving
children and families in need. The impact
of your gift will be felt when:
• A first grader comes to school ready
to learn because he attended an early
childhood program.
THE FOGLIA YMCA
As a nonprofit organization committed to youth development,
healthy living and social responsibility, the Foglia YMCA has been
proud to help our neighbors learn, grow and thrive for 13 years.
Between the whistles of a youth basketball league, the splash of a
swim lesson and the smile that says “you’re welcome,” the Foglia
YMCA strengthens bodies, minds and communities. Where some
see obstacles, we see opportunities for our members, volunteers,
program participants and staff to make a difference.
Since 2000, The Foglia YMCA has served the thriving communities
of Lake Zurich, Vernon Hills, Lake Barrington and more. Today, for
over 18,550 members and 250 volunteers, the Foglia YMCA is a
destination where local children and families have the opportunity
to discover who they are and what they can achieve, and where
people of all ages, interests and abilities can build and maintain
healthy lifestyle habits.
• A teen makes better choices because
she feels welcomed and valued at the Y.
• Kids have a safe place to go after
school and in the summer.
Make a Gift. Change a Life.
