Every year, 120 YMCA of Southwestern Ontario Child Care and School Age sites participate in a themed Move-a-Thon - helping children build confidence and a love of movement, while inspiring everyone to explore their wild side in support of a cause that strengths our community.

This year we are excited to travel Into the Wild for Move-a-Thon on May 7, 2026!

At the heart of Move‑a‑Thon is a simple but powerful idea: everyone deserves the chance to grow, belong, and thrive. The YMCA of Southwestern Ontario is committed to ensuring children and families can access quality programs and care, regardless of financial circumstances. When you donate to Move‑a‑Thon, you help remove barriers and open doors—so more families can take part, feel welcomed, and reach their full potential.

Move‑a‑Thon is about more than movement—it’s about lifting one another up and strengthening our community.

Last year, Move-a-Thon raised an incredible $60,000. Let’s explore how much more we can do together this year!
