Jason Mar's Fundraising Page

I’ve been part of the Chinatown YMCA for more than 30 years — first as a kid attending programs, later as staff, and eventually as a camp director helping lead the next generation. The Y has shaped who I am: it gave me mentors, community, and a place to belong. Now I’m raising funds so more kids, families, and seniors can experience that same support.

Your donation directly strengthens the Chinatown community by:

• Providing safe, caring before- and after-school programs for 420+ youth across seven sites
• Offering wellness classes and social connection for 300+ seniors through Aging Well Together
• Ensuring 57% of our members receive financial assistance so no one is turned away
• Putting healthy food on the tables of low-income families
• Supporting virtual learning and enrichment for youth without internet access or English-speaking parents

Every contribution — big or small — helps the Y continue its mission of equity, belonging, and opportunity for all. I’m grateful for your support and excited to keep giving back to the community that has given so much to me.

Thank you for considering a gift!
