Y CHAMPIONS

THE Y HOSTS INAUGURAL DONOR AND VOLUNTEER CELEBRATION

The Y hosted its inaugural Y Champions Celebration, an evening dedicated to honoring our remarkable donors and volunteers whose steadfast support has been the driving force behind our mission to open doors for all New Yorkers.

At the heart of the event were our Volunteers of the Year, who made a meaningful impact on countless individuals and families at our branches, embodying the spirit of service that lies at the core of our organization.

We also had the privilege of highlighting Faces of Impact participants – individuals whose lives have been transformed by the Y’s essential programs and services. Thanks to our community of donors, we continue to strengthen and empower New Yorkers across the five boroughs.•
