Sioux Falls Family YMCA – A Legacy of Leadership

For generations, the Sioux Falls Family YMCA has taken a leadership role in strengthening our community—building strong kids, strong families, and a stronger Sioux Falls. From youth development to wellness and outreach, the YMCA has consistently been at the center of meaningful impact, creating opportunities for people of all ages to grow, connect, and thrive.

We are incredibly grateful and honored to welcome the YMCA as a Charter Member of Dakota Jackpots, operated by the Dakota Nonprofit Alliance. Their commitment to community leadership aligns perfectly with our mission to bring nonprofits together in a powerful, collaborative fundraising platform.

Today, the YMCA is raising funds to help make summer camp accessible to more kids and families—ensuring that every child has the opportunity to experience the joy, growth, and confidence that camp provides.

A Place Where Memories Are Made

Camp Leif Ericson has been a cornerstone of those experiences for decades. Established in the 1960s and nestled along the Big Sioux River, it has welcomed generations of children into a world of adventure, friendship, and personal growth.

From archery and outdoor exploration to campfires and lifelong friendships, Camp Leif Ericson is more than just a summer program—it’s a tradition that connects generations.

Year after year, children leave camp with more than just stories—they carry confidence, character, and memories that last a lifetime.

Supporting the Next Generation

By participating in the Dakota Jackpots raffle, you are helping the YMCA continue this legacy—opening the door for more kids to experience the magic of summer camp, regardless of financial barriers.

Together, we are not just raising funds—we are investing in the next generation of our community.
