ALL IN FOR THE Y
When we asked our community to go ALL IN for the Y and support our first virtual evening of impact, we weren't sure what to expect. Thanks to your generous support, our NOV 12 event was not only successful - it was RECORD-BREAKING! All In For The Y is officially the most successful fundraising event to date, raising more than $369,000 to support kids and families who need us most.

A few weeks ago the Y began making plans to open four additional branches including Sara's, Harris Express, Wesley Chapel and Steele Creek. We know you and our Y team members were excited about this opportunity to reconnect the community. However, things have changed. Out of an abundance of caution, the YMCA has decided to pause with these branch openings for now. We are disappointed as you may be. The safety of our members and team members is the highest priority, so we will continue to evaluate the opening plans for these branches. And, we will continue to update you on the progress of these branch openings. You can find more information about how we are working to maintain a healthy environment at the Y on our website at https://www.ymcacharlotte.org/maintaining-healthy-environment. We look forward to seeing you at the Y very soon.
