Thanks to a partnership between Sampson County Regional Hospital, The Anonymous Trust and the YMCA of Southeastern NC, the Sampson County YMCA opened its doors in Clinton, NC on June 9, 2022. This was a shining example of the fact that our organization takes Social Responsibility to heart. By the end of 2024 the Sampson County YMCA has over 1,200 membership units, 5 Corporate Membership partners, and is actively serving the community through various health and wellness programs, including our Schools in Pools program.As an association, thousands of volunteers play a key role in our success. They serve on various committees, Association and Advisory Boards. They help with special events, coach sports teams and work on our Annual Fundraising Campaign. In 2024 we provided $1,547,747 in community benefit and financial assistance dollars, making sure those who want to be a part of the YMCA can be. We offer programs and opportunities for all ages, including those among us who are older, working toward better health, or just trying to maintain.

Additionally, in Q4 2024 we matched the initial $4 million dollar capital matching grant from the New Hanover County Endowment which is going to allow us to move forward on the Midtown YMCA Expansion project. We have a major capital campaign underway to secure the remaining dollars needed to break ground on that project, hopefully by Q4 of 2025. Purchasing and developing this location into a full-service facility will allow the YMCA to more than double our impact and dramatically improve the lives of thousands of residents in New Hanover County.The 2024 YMCA of SENC Annual Campaign raised nearly $457,815 surpassing our stated campaign goal. This scholarship adjustment further highlights the importance of Social Responsibility for our organization.
