Arts-based programs, including martial arts, dance, and related activities, engaged approximately 1,307 participants. Family-centered programs served an additional 547 participants. Gymnastics remains one of the YMCA's largest youth programs, serving 3,583 participants during 2025. More than 100 gymnasts participated on the competitive team, while the annual Spook Hollow Invitational hosted 281 gymnasts from throughout the region. The YMCA remains committed to ensuring that all youth have access to meaningful experiences regardless of ability. Inclusion programming served 394 participants and provided individualized support services that enabled children and youth with varying needs to fully participate in YMCA programs. Childcare and School-Age Care The YMCA is one of the region's largest childcare providers. During 2025, 1,895 unique children participated in YMCA childcare, school-age care, summer camp, and early childhood education programs. The YMCA's licensed Early Childhood Center provided care and educational experiences for infants through four-year-old children. Programming emphasized school readiness, social-emotional development, physical activity, and enrichment experiences such as swimming, music, art, and outdoor learning. The YMCA's before- and after-school care program operated at 15 school-based locations throughout the La Crosse, Onalaska, and Holmen school districts and served more than 800 children during the academic year. During the summer months, nine YMCA day camp locations provided full-day care and enrichment opportunities for working families throughout the region. Through a partnership with La Crosse County, the YMCA also provided nine one-to-one support staff positions during the 2025-2026 school year to ensure children requiring additional assistance could successfully participate in childcare and school-age programming. Community Youth Development The YMCA Community Youth Center continued to provide a safe and welcoming environment for youth who benefit from positive adult relationships, structured activities, academic support, and social connection. During 2025, the Youth Center served 198 unique young people and recorded average daily participation of approximately 18 youth, with attendance reaching as high as 30 participants on some evenings. The Youth Center hosted Community Nights that engaged 529 participants and introduced specialized boys girls' groups designed to foster leadership development, relationship-building, and personal growth. Twenty-nine volunteers contributed their time and expertise to support these efforts. 4883052 6916641 Healthy Living The YMCA remains one of the region's largest providers of health and wellness opportunities. In 2025, more than 141,000 participations were recorded in group exercise classes, reflecting the YMCA's role as a primary provider of preventive health and wellness programming in the Coulee Region. The YMCA offered nearly 6,900 group fitness classes throughout the year, including strength training, yoga, cycling, water exercise, functional fitness, and specialized senior wellness programs. The YMCA's three indoor pools provided 13,806 hours of aquatic access and programming. Aquatics staff delivered 4,437 swim lesson sessions and welcomed more than 164,000 visits to aquatic facilities. The YMCA also offered more than 800 water fitness classes, adaptive swim lessons, lifeguard certification programs, CPR and First Aid training, and competitive swim opportunities through the Wave Swim Team, which served 177 athletes. Older adults remain a significant focus of YMCA programming. More than 3,900 adults age 55 and older participated in YMCA membership and program opportunities during 2025. The YMCA launched FOREVERWELL, a healthy aging initiative designed to promote physical activity, social connection, and lifelong learning. In addition, 413 members achieved "200 Club" status by visiting the YMCA 200 or more times during the year, demonstrating exceptional commitment to healthy living. The YMCA also operates evidence-based health interventions designed to improve long-term health outcomes. These include LIVESTRONG and YOUTHSTRONG cancer survivorship programs, the Diabetes Prevention Program, adaptive wellness initiatives, and physician-referred wellness opportunities developed in collaboration with local healthcare providers. 0 0 Social Responsibility and Community Outreach The YMCA's charitable outreach programs address some of the community's most pressing challenges, including food insecurity, homelessness, social isolation, and barriers to health care. The YMCA Food Access Program continued to experience substantial growth during 2025. The program provided 466,626 meals and snacks, distributed 459,650 pounds of food, and served more than 10,600 youth and 4,400 adults. Mobile food distribution services reached approximately 250 households and 900 individuals each month through the Mobile Market program. Since the program's launch, more than 600 individuals have successfully graduated from the Mobile Market initiative, including 298 graduates during 2025 alone. The YMCA's Community Health Worker program served 98 individuals and families experiencing homelessness or housing instability. Staff assisted 12 families in securing housing and completed approximately 400 pathways related to employment, medical care, transportation, education, food access, and other essential services. The YMCA also contributed more than 350 hours of coordinated case management through regional homelessness response efforts. The YMCA's Wellness Warriors program served 67 military veterans through an evidence-based wellness curriculum focused on physical, emotional, social, occupational, intellectual, environmental, spiritual, and financial wellness. Forty-four participants were new to the YMCA and many continued their engagement through monthly veteran support activities following program completion. The YMCA remains a significant community gathering place and source of civic engagement. During 2025, more than 2,000 college students from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Viterbo University, and Western Technical College held YMCA memberships. The YMCA also provided 2,658 rides to youth participating in Community Youth Center programming, helping reduce transportation barriers and increase access to supportive services. The organization's charitable impact is strengthened by substantial community support. During 2025, the YMCA raised more than $1.39 million through donations, grants, sponsorships, special events, and community partnerships. These charitable investments support financial assistance, youth scholarships, membership assistance, food access initiatives, health interventions, and outreach programs designed to ensure that all individuals have access to YMCA services regardless of their ability to pay. Collectively, these efforts demonstrate the YMCA's unique role as both a health and wellness organization and a community-serving charitable institution. Through its facilities, programs, partnerships, volunteers, and donors, the La Crosse Area Family YMCA continues to improve health outcomes, strengthen families, support youth development, address food insecurity, assist vulnerable populations, and build a healthier, more connected community. 12846910 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true 14 0 true 1134 true false false false false false false false false false false X 25 25 false false false false false false false true true false false false false true true true true true true true false false WI X X Monica Anderson 6087829622 1140 MAIN STREET LA CROSSE WI 54601 CLARA GELATT BOARD PRESIDENT 1.0 X X 0 0 0 MARK DAVY PAST PRESIDENT 1.0 X X 0 0 0 PAUL BAGNIEFSKI TREASURER 1.0 X X 0 0 0 ANGELA CZERWINSKI DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 BARB ERICKSON DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 BARBARA BENSON TRUSTEE 1.0 X 0 0 0 BEN PORATH DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 BRITTANY HENSGEN DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 CARRIE LEONARD DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 CARSON SCHNEIDER DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 CHAD MUELLER DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINA FLISRAM DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 DAR ISAACSON TRUSTEE 1.0 X 0 0 0 DAVE SKOGEN TRUSTEE 1.0 X 0 0 0 DENNY FORD DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 DON WEBER TRUSTEE 1.0 X 0 0 0 ERIC WHEELER TRUSTEE 1.0 X 0 0 0 ERIK ARCHER DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 EVAN HOFFMAN DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 HARRY DAHL TRUSTEE 1.0 X 0 0 0 HEATHER CHIAL DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 JIM WARREN DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 JOHN LYCHE TRUSTEE 1.0 X 0 0 0 KERRIE GLENDENNING DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 KRIS MUELLER DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 MARK GLENDENNING TRUSTEE 1.0 X 0 0 0 MATT GOBEL DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 MIKE SKROCH DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 NAO TSUMAGARI DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 NATE SKEMP DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 RON HOUSER TRUSTEE 1.0 X 0 0 0 SHAWNA DALE DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 STEVE TANKE TRUSTEE 1.0 X 0 0 0 TARA WETZEL DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 TOM BREWER DIRECTOR 1.0 X 0 0 0 BILL SOPER CEO/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 50.0 X 255894 0 43303 MONICA ANDERSON CFO 40.0 X 96233 0 11062 Nicole West Chief Development Officer 40.0 X 133034 0 16749 Taylor Ledvina Director of Human Resources X 100236 0 1453 585397 0 72567 3 true true false 0 0 0 108420 0 0 1451939 0 1560359 Healthy Living 6808331 6808331 Youth Development 5928719 5928719 Social Responsibility 0 0 0 0 0 0 12737050 93348 0 0 93348 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 282458 0 261332 17611 21126 -17611 3515 0 0 3515 208385 108420 91680 116705 0 116705 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 60776 60776 0 0 MERCHANDISE SALES 900099 38887 38887 0 0 VENDING MACHINE INCOME 900099 8647 8647 0 0 0 0 0 0 108310 14619287 12845360 0 213568 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 409523 102381 206350 100792 0 0 0 0 7940504 7053306 626558 260640 419315 356164 41735 21416 386613 316930 56350 13333 617302 538106 52596 26600 0 0 0 0 9555 8122 1433 0 27457 23338 4119 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8804 0 8804 0 39228 36418 2050 760 53491 40917 4191 8383 190496 0 129737 60759 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 524078 465263 58815 0 39867 31612 8255 0 0 0 0 0 10261 3204 7057 0 123814 107281 16533 0 201013 201013 0 0 1224504 1173637 50867 0 267047 174306 89702 3039 Repairs 358738 304411 54327 0 Bad Debt Expense 428000 0 428000 0 Program Expenses 1910501 1910501 0 0 0 0 0 0 15190111 12846910 1847479 495722 0 0 0 0 183442 21755 456213 102116 577579 48373 150405 202881 0 0 0 0 20438 12526 32429 76636 38127661 14183992 24597815 23943669 1311427 1309994 0 0 1036302 1043463 28366050 26761413 991465 982555 0 380652 185729 0 0 0 0 4161256 3183931 0 0 0 0 5533373 4352215 20402990 19934215 2429687 2474983 0 0 0 22832677 22409198 28366050 26761413 -570824 147345 0 X false true true false X 4919858 4522312 1719188 2097655 1560359 14819372 6989049 9091883 10432245 11722190 12737050 50972417 37950 111437 87205 131873 208385 576850 0 0 0 0 11946857 13725632 12238638 13951718 14505794 66368639 403000 363289 257159 135980 405800 1565228 0 0 0 0 0 0 403000 363289 257159 135980 405800 1565228 64803411 50870 84034 68949 92720 93348 389921 0 0 50870 84034 68949 92720 93348 389921 0 0 88065 99902 296203 94382 108310 686862 12085792 13909568 12603790 14138820 14707452 67445422 0.96083 0.94793 0.01 0.01 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Other Income DESCRIPTION - OTHER, COLUMN A - 88065.0, COLUMN B - 99902.0, COLUMN C - 296203.0, COLUMN D - 94382.0, COLUMN E - 108310.0, COLUMN F - 686862.0;
