Better Together: Connecting Communities for Change
The Y is thrilled to announce the second annual YMCA Community Week. This year, we're commemorating 170 years since the founding of the YMCA of Greater New York.

Support the Y, Support Your Community
Give to your local Y during the month of May and you'll help unlock up to $40,000 of matching gifts to support programs across the five boroughs.
If 250 individuals join our new monthly giving program during the month of May, we'll receive an extra $25,000 donation.
The race is on to support the Y - $5K for the 5K! A $5,000 match is ours when we reach our $5,000 goal.
Double your impact! On May 25, the Y's Day of Giving, all gifts will be matched up to $10,000.
YMCA of Greater New York Community Week
On May 28, 1852, a group of 300 New Yorkers gathered together at Mercer Street Presbyterian Church in Greenwich Village and made a commitment to form the first YMCA in New York City. In the 170 years since that day, the YMCA of Greater New York has flourished, becoming New York City’s leading nonprofit community service and wellness organization, serving more than 500,000 New Yorkers annually through 23 branches across all five boroughs.
We invite you to celebrate this important milestone with us later this month during the Y’s Community Week. Join us at one of the events highlighted above as we honor all that the Y Community has accomplished and look forward with hope and optimism toward what we can achieve together in the future. Your membership, engagement, and generosity make the Y’s life-changing programs and services possible, and we are so grateful that you’re a part of the Y Family.
