As the year draws to a close, and we take time to be grateful, I would like to thank our local community for the continued support for the Y and its diverse goals.
Together, we created opportunities, ensured future growth and spread knowledge through the community by:
• Offering dynamic programs like youth sports leagues, karate, sports clinics and swimming which keep kids healthy throughout the school year.
• Launching our first ever Y Bike program, which focuses on the importance of bike safety and motivates children to go outdoors and be active and healthy.
• Investing and upgrading our wellness centers in both the Boca Y and the Boynton Y to offer more options, new equipment and more space for exercise for our members.
• Organizing fun, family friendly events like Healthy Kids Day in April and Back to School Bash in August, which meet both parents’ and children’s needs.
• Hosting a Y Teen Leaders Weekend, where teens ages 13 to 18 learned about service to others, volunteerism, social interaction and appreciation for diversity.
Most recently, the annual campaign has helped to raise funds for the financial assistance program, ensuring that the YMCA of South Palm Beach will continue to provide life-enhancing services available to everyone, regardless of income.
Thank you again for supporting the YMCA’s dedication to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We look forward to another wonderful year and doing the best we can to serve South Palm Beach County.
