Sporting Clays Classic

On April 12, 2024, we will be holding our 3rd Annual Sporting Clays Classic benefiting our Y Afterschool programming and scholarship fund. Shooters may register as a team of four or an individual may register and be assigned to a team. Teams will rotate through twelve stations, with an additional Flurry competition. There will be a morning and afternoon group, with prizes awarded after each group competes to the top team score in the A, B and C classes based on the Lewis Class Scoring System. A prize will also be awarded to the Highest Overall scorer and the top Flurry team.

In addition to the shoot, you will have the chance to win several raffle items. All proceeds from the event will go towards scholarships for individuals and families in need of childcare services. In 2023, we raised $34,589 for afterschool scholarships!

Afterschool Care at the Y

The YMCA of Upper Palmetto is committed to providing the highest quality after school care possible. Our program is designed to enhance a child’s school day through activities such as homework support, filed trips, large and small group games, devotions and singing. We strive to develop the whole child through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Our afterschool programs serve over 600 children weekly, ranging from kindergarten to eighth grade.

Financial Assistance

The YMCA welcomes all who wish to participate and believes that no one should be denied membership or access to programs based on their ability to pay. With a commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility, the YMCA of Upper Palmetto ensures that every individual has access to the essentials needed to learn, grow and thrive.

Thanks to funds from our annual campaign, we are able to provide scholarships for children and families in need of financial assistance and cannot afford the full cost of YMCA programs like afterschool. Approximately 1 in 3 children registered for afterschool receive some form of scholarship, totaling almost $20,000 a month. When summer day camp is included, YMCA of Upper Palmetto provides nearly $275,000 in childcare scholarships annually, none of which would be possible without individual and corporate donations.

The Y has been amazing for my family. It has allowed me to have trustworthy affordable childcare for my children after school and during summer/off days. My children absolutely love their counselors. They always have fun. The counselors continue to go above and beyond for my children to make them comfortable and to make them feel that when I'm at work. They get to socialize and have fun. They get help with homework and a lot of activity. I can't express how amazing the Y is.
