Inspiring Generosity
The Chairman’s Roundtable (CRT) recognizes major donors whose annual charitable giving totals $1,000 or more in a calendar year. We honor CRT donors with special recognition according to their giving level. All CRT Partners are celebrated with custom banners displayed for a year at the branch of their choice.
Donor banners are displayed year-round in our four Greater Joliet Area YMCA locations, which welcome more than 775,000 visitors each year.
How to Become a CRT Donor
1. PLEDGE A DONATION
Contact the Development Department at (815) 782-0809 to pledge your gift of $1,000 or more.
2. DESIGN YOUR BANNER
All CRT donors have the opportunity to customize their banner. Please Note: CRT Donors will be asked to approve a final proof of their custom banner before it is printed. Customization details can be found below.
3. CHOOSE YOUR BANNER PLACEMENT
Our Development Team will notify donors when their banner has been hung in the YMCA location of their choice, so you can plan a visit to the Y and see it on display.
