November at the Y: Gratitude & Giving
As we enter November, we are reminded of the power of gratitude and the importance of giving. We are thankful for each of you who supports the Y and advances our mission of youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. This month, we invite you to join us in celebrating generosity through service, compassion, and community action to help strengthen the place we all call home.

Thank You Y Ambassadors!
Annual Campaign Updates
| | |
We'd like to say a huge thank you to our Y Ambassadors who are volunteering their time to share their Y stories and raise awareness about our Annual Campaign efforts! They are spreading the word about how the Y makes a difference in our community through providing financial assistance. The generous support we receive from donors allows us to offer income-based rates for membership and programs, including swim lessons, youth sports, health and wellness, camp and childcare! You, too, can make an impact by giving back to our cause. Click here to make a donation today!

Maintenance Update: Gym Floors
The basketball and racquetball courts at the Nir Family YMCA will be refinished on November 10, and the basketball gym floor at the Midtown YMCA will be refinished on November 11. Both gyms are scheduled to reopen on November 15.
Please note, there may be a lingering odor for a few days following the refinishing process. We appreciate your understanding as we work to keep our facilities in top condition.
