Over the last several weeks, Y supporters generously joined together to raise more than $93,000 to help send kids to YMCA camp this summer!
As we prepare to officially kick-off summer camp season at the YMCA, we’d like to thank everyone who pledged their support, shared information about our 2025 Send a Kid to Camp Campaign on their social media networks, and invited their friends and family members to learn more about the Y’s youth development work. Thanks to the overwhelming support of our generous donors, we are excited to share that our 2025 Send A Kid to Camp Campaign raised enough funds to provide more than 1,850 days of camp for children in our community.

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.
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. As part of the Greater Joliet Area YMCA’s commitment to protecting the children in our community, we’re participating in Five Days of Action® – a week-long campaign to increase awareness of child sexual abuse and empower and equip us all to prevent it. By taking part in this important campaign, and implementing abuse prevention practices year-round, we are committing to the safety of all children in our community.
