Love Your Y Month

You may not know this, but February is a big deal around here at the Y. It’s Love Your Y month! While some of us spend the month loving all things hearts and flowers, you can also show your love to your local YMCA.
While we love the Y every month, February is an important time to donate to our Annual Giving Campaign. The Annual Giving Campaign helps ensure everyone has an opportunity to be a part of our programs. From childcare to membership assistance, your gift makes a huge impact in our community!
Check out these stories of some of our local members who were impacted by giving to our Annual Campaign.
Meet Matt.
Matt, his mother, Annette, and his brother originally joined the YMCA in 2018. Matt loves taking Zumba and swimming and is always so excited to be here! Matt’s mother Annette said, “Thanks to the Y and their generosity, my family and I are able to exercise and socialize. Matt loves all of the staff and instructors! I am thankful to have a safe space for all of us.”
Meet Dalpheny
You can find Dalphney in various classes ranging from Zumba to water fitness, she loves the Y! After years of living in chronic back and neck pain, Dalphney finally underwent two surgeries last year, including a neck and back surgery. Her operations put her at an immediate stop to quite a few activities she formerly enjoyed. Dalphney started coming to the Y hunched over, barely able to move without feeling stiff, but started taking water classes and immediately felt a difference! She can walk, move and dance without the pain and stiffness she had been feeling post-surgery! We’re so thankful that Dalphney chose the Y and we appreciate the brightness she brings to the facility when she’s here!
