2022 Recognition Dinner
Possibility. It’s the small voice inside your head that says “today something great may happen.” The unshakeable sense that people are rooting for you. The feeling that you belong, that you have potential, and that your greatest strength is your genuine self.
For some, possibility comes easily. For most, it takes a whole community to unlock it.
And that is what the YMCA of Metro Chicago has been doing for 164 years.
From the first swim in the pool to the last night at camp, from trauma-informed care to accelerating health equity, from Pilsen to Palatine, we bring people together to create diverse possibilities and progress for everyone in Chicagoland.
We do it through play, through purpose, through people like you.
Your gifts empower us to understand our communities and address their needs. Your donations enable us to create safe spaces for neighbors, by neighbors. Your investments unlock infinite possibility for the people who need it most.
There is still so much need — but with that comes opportunity.
Here’s to endless possibilities and to the people who make them possible.
