Happy Father's Day from the Y! 💙

Today we celebrate the dads, grandpas, father figures, and coaches who encourage, inspire, and show up for their families every day.

For one YMCA dad, the Y is place for his family to connect and thrive, "I love coaching my kids at the Y. The staff are all so encouraging, and it's really great to see the growth season after season. The Y really gives my kids a place to express themselves and grow as children safely."

Thank you to all the fathers who help build confidence, create lasting memories, and strengthen our communities. We're honored to be part of your family's journey.

Happy Father's Day! 💙🏀
