The Bedford Society gives members of the community an opportunity to play an invaluable role in the future of the Westport Weston Family YMCA by contributing to our endowment. Just as you or your children today have benefited from the character-driven Y programs and services, future generations will also benefit from the Y because of a gift you made today.

Our endowment ensures that the WWFY will remain open providing valuable services if there is a change in the financial climate that effects the financial health of the Y. In tough times, keeping the doors open to a valuable community support system, like the Y, is even more important.

• Contribute to the WWFY Endowment Fund
• Make a bequest to the WWFY Endowment Fund in your will
• Name the WWFY as beneficiary of a life insurance policy
