Last Friday, we ignited the night at the 2nd Annual Sneaker Soirée, bringing our community, staff, and elected leaders together at our Stratford Richardson YMCA. With electrifying music and dancing, we raised over $100,000 in funds to supercharge our community programs for all to enjoy.
Thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Beacon Partners, and all the sponsors who fueled this triumphant evening!

Happy Welcoming Week 😀! Last week was all about spreading neighborly love during Welcoming Week, an annual celebration to bring neighbors of all backgrounds together and give a big warm welcome to the newcomers in the area.
YMCAs across our community celebrated with fun international dance parties, special group exercise classes, delicious cooking demonstrations and cultural learning opportunities. It was a great time to build relationships and celebrate our beautiful, diverse community.
