The YMCA Chaplain Team created this event as a way to build awareness and excitement of the impactful work the YMCA does in the community and shine a light on the C in the YMCA. The Y’s mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. The Y is made up of people of all ages, from all walks of life, working side-by-side to strengthen communities. They strive to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, age, cultural background, ethnicity, faith, gender, gender expression, gender identity, ideology, income, national origin, race or sexual orientation has the opportunity to reach their full potential with dignity.
