An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand paper cranes will be granted a wish. The Dover YMCA has worked with members, staff, and volunteers to fold 1000 paper cranes with the wish to ULEASH OPPORTUNITIES for our community.
The cranes in our facility represent individuals impacted by financial assistance opportunities in 2025. Each hallway has a theme ranging from aquatics, childcare, and chronic disease programs that we fundraise to support needs in our community.
No matter the size of the gift, all add up to joining us in continuing to reach even more members of our community this year with life-changing opportunities.
