The Y is one of the nation’s top nonprofits, and a leader in
providing summer camp experiences for more than 130 years. There
are more than 1,850 day camps at local Ys across the country, 315
overnight camps for youth and teens, and programs that meet the
diverse needs of children and teens.
“The partnership with the Y was a natural fit for us when it
came to this year’s Celebrate Summer campaign,” said Lauren Anania,
director of cause marketing at Macy’s. “The Y is one of the largest
providers of camp programs in the country, helping kids and teens
to have their best summer ever. We look forward to raising funds
through our Fashion Pass program to send even more kids to summer
camp, which provides our kids with essential leadership and social
skills.”
“Attending summer camp is beneficial to every child’s personal
growth, helping kids develop confidence and independence while
keeping their minds and bodies active,” said John Duntley, Senior
Camping Specialist, YMCA of the USA. “Nearly a million children and
teens attend a Y overnight or day camp each year and, thanks to
Macy’s, more kids, especially those in need, will have the
opportunity to benefit from experiencing camp.”
Savings passes are currently available for pre-sale at Macy’s
stores. Some exclusions and restrictions apply for the pass. For
