Help us keep our community cool: Support YWCA’s fundraiser
Jul 8 all-day
online

The YWCA recently learned that our aging HVAC system can no longer reliably heat and cool our building. This means more than discomfort for members and staff – we are required to maintain a consistent and healthy temperature in the building for the well-being and safety of the children in our childcare programs. We are asking for your help to address the immediate need for $60k to replace the first five of our 24 HVAC units and ensure that both of our Childcare programs can continue to provide accessible childcare to working families and the work of the YWCA can continue without disruption.

The Moppets are raising money for their scholarship fund, and we’ve set them loose for MOPPETS MAYHEM: “A Christmas Carol (in July)”!

Our cast and crew have just three days to produce their version of the Charles Dickens classic, and we’re pretty much letting them do it however they want. Will it be a comedy? A tragedy? A tragicomedy? Will Julia Child be there again? The only thing we know is it’s going to be a lot of fun!

Fundraising for the Renovation of Brevard’s Ecusta Field
Jul 19 @ 9:00 am
online

Funds for Fields: Youth Wellness Initiative

 

Pisgah Health Foundation is raising funds for renovations to the Ecusta Field, which is currently used by area athletes and community members and is in dire need of upgrades. The upgraded facility will allow for the expansion of youth athletic programs as well as open the field up for more events and recreational activities for everyone in Transylvania County.

 

With your donations and support, you can positively impact the lives of young athletes now! Soccer and other sports are integral in youth development, fostering physical, mental, and emotional growth. Additionally, outdoor recreational facilities are vital to our community’s wellbeing, especially since the pandemic led to higher levels of anxiety, depression, and stress as a result of decreased physical activity.

 

Along with others in our community, we hope you will join us in raising funds to renovate this field for all to enjoy in Brevard.
