Frequently Asked Questions:
  • I'm currently a member of the YMCA.  Can current members bid on the prize?  Yes.  The only catch would be that you would have to claim the membership by December 31, 2011. So, if your membership ran out some time later in the year, it may not make sense to bid as you might “lose” a few months on your current membership.
  • Do I have to be present to win?  No.  Feel free to send a proxy on your behalf.
  • Is the membership transferrable to any of the YMCA locations in the Bay Area?  The winning bidder of the YMCA membership will only be able to join the Central YMCA. However, once a member of the Central YMCA, they will have access to the following four other YMCA’s for free:
    Southwest YMCA (West San Jose/Saratoga)
    South Valley YMCA (South San Jose)
    East Valley YMCA (East San Jose)
    Northwest YMCA (Cupertino)
