Thank you to our long-standing partner Chick-fil-A for their continued support and generosity! This year, Chick-fil-a donated $75,000 to our Y! This donation is transforming lives for the children and families we serve across our community.
In addition, multiple Chick-fil-a operators serve on our branch boards and champion the impact work we do each day. We love Chick-fil-a!
Thank you to all of our sponsors and participants for joining us at the 10th Annual Krueger Reindeer Romp 5k at the Harris YMCA! With over 800 runners and 12 sponsors, we raised more than $50,000, which has the potential to create life-changing opportunities for all.
A special thanks to our Gold Sponsors, including Perry's Diamonds & Estate Jewelry, Dilworth Tasting Room and Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company! We would also like to thank the Krueger family for their continued support.
Strengthening communities and bringing families together is what the YMCA was built for, and we’re proud to see our Harris YMCA upholding this spirit by assisting Latino immigrant families in helping make Charlotte their new home.
