The Gainesville-based Georgia Mountains YMCA hopes its first-ever participation in Giving Tuesday will generate funds it can use for new programs next year.
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement, which will be held Dec. 3.
Some of the programs the Y hopes to help fund through Giving Tuesday include a mentor program with middle school students, a cancer survivorship program, and expansion of its school swim lessons that teach elementary students how to stay safe around water.
