Play forward. Play on.
The YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago plays to foster community, break barriers, and promote growth for a brighter, more equitable future. Together, let’s celebrate 165 years of play; of impact and empowerment; of education and innovation — all thanks to your support.
The YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago has spent the last 165 years harnessing the Power of Play to achieve amazing feats: welcoming all people as full members, certifying the first YMCA SCUBA instructors in the country, investing in youth in Chicagoland and throughout the Midwest, empowering people of all abilities, and advancing the communities we serve.
We’re gathering for our 2023 Recognition Dinner at Morgan MFG on Thursday, October 19, at 6 p.m. to honor the civic leaders, partners, friends, and donors who champion the YMCA’s mission and the Power of Play.
Join us to commemorate the legacy of the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago and to toast to our future, as we continue to meet the evolving needs of our communities, from today and for decades to come.
Together, let’s celebrate 165 years of play; of impact and empowerment; of education and innovation — all thanks to your support.
Together, let’s celebrate you.
