Sponsorship opportunities for the Greater Joliet Area YMCA’s fourth annual Mission Strong Golf Classic, which will be held on Wednesday, September 17 at ‘The Creek’ at Morris Country Club, are now available. Proceeds from this year’s golf outing, which is generously presented by Midland States Bank, will benefit the Y’s Mission Strong Fund, helping to ensure that no one is turned away from the YMCA due to the inability to pay.
This week is National Hospital Week, which celebrates hospitals and all the amazing workers who support the health and well-being of their communities through dedication and compassionate care from the heart. It also recognizes the miracles they help to make happen on a day to day basis, both large and small. During National Hospital Week, the Greater Joliet Area YMCA encourages you and your family to thank all of these dedicated individuals, including physicians, nurses, therapists, volunteers, administrators, and so many more.
