For more than 95 years, the Greater Joliet Area YMCA has worked hand-in-hand with our neighbors to bring about meaningful change in our community. Thanks to the amazing support of our generous donors, grantors, and sponsors, we are proud to announce that in 2021 the Greater Joliet Area YMCA raised more than $1.8 million in charitable giving.
We’d like to thank everyone who continues to show their support for the Y’s mission. By working together, we can ensure that Y programs and services remain accessible to all and that no one is turned away from the Y due to the inability to pay.
