Every day the YMCA affirms its commitment to making a positive impact in the community. Y programs provide opportunities for all generations, ensuring that every individual feels a sense of belonging. And as a non-profit, community-based organization, the YMCA relies on the generosity of its members and the support of charitable giving to provide services and financial assistance for children, adults and families living in our community.

That is why the YMCA would like to thank the Old National Bank, which recently gave a $10,500 donation in support of the YMCA Mission Strong Fund. This generous gift was provided through contributions to the 2023 YMCA Gala, which raised funds for the Y’s scholarship assistance program, helping to ensure that no one is turned away from the YMCA due to the inability to pay .
