Good morning, everyone! Another Wednesday is here, and that means it's time for another Healthy Together! As fall approaches, it's a great time to remember the Y has programs for everyone—from youth sports, to group exercise, volunteer events, and much more.
We can’t wait to see you at one of our branches this fall!

Last month, 16 teens from the YMCA of Metro Atlanta attended the 2022 Blue Ridge Leaders’ School on Black Mountain. Since its creation in 1922, Blue Ridge Leaders’ School has retained its basic philosophy of training teens to be leaders in all aspects of YMCA physical education.
The purpose of Blue Ridge Leaders’ School is teen leadership development through YMCA health and physical education. We’re so happy our teens got to experience this awesome program.

Earlier this month, branches across the YMCA of Metro Atlanta hosted school supply distributions. Thanks to our community partners at the Empty Stocking Fund for making this possible. Look for future distributions with the Y and Empty Stocking Fund!

Northwest Family YMCA's Zumbathon was truly a party! Participants got to Zumba in style with glow sticks and light up gear. Some members even had custom songs choreographed for the event! And we can't forget the raffle prizes.
Thanks to this event, the Northwest Family YMCA has now raised 99% of their branch goal for the 2022 WHY IT MATTERS Annual Campaign.

“Good array of exercise equipment and free weights, good space for that. Nice views of tennis courts and swimming pool while you work out. Most importantly, very nice array of tennis courts, both clay and hard courts.”
– Lewis, Carl E. Sanders Family YMCA at Buckhead member
Lewis, we're glad you've found a lot to like about the Y.
