CEO Update
Dear YMCA Friends,

The critical work we do at our Y is only possible because we are a charitable organization comprising staff, volunteers, donors, members, and partners who understand that our community is strongest when we work together. 

With programs that nurture well-being in spirit, mind, and body, we intend to be here for all, always, never turning anyone away for the inability to pay. Thank you for being an important part of this mission. I welcome you to learn more below about our Y’s Annual Campaign, which is perhaps, the most impactful program we run at our Y because it makes every other program possible for those who need us most. 

Stronger Together,
Laurie Goganzer, President & CEO
YMCA of Greater Monmouth County
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
HELP OUR TEAM KICK OFF THE ANNUAL CAMPAIGN!
Everyone has heard of the Y for swim and gym. But there’s so much more than many people realize. From exercise to mental well-being, from swim class to college-readiness, from preschool to preventive health, the Y doesn’t just strengthen mind and bodies. It strengthens community. 
 
Come visit our YMCA staff at Annual Campaign Kickoff events to learn more about the Y’s impact locally and how you can join in the social good!

> Mon., 3/6, 12:30 p.m. at Freehold Family YMCA
> Wed., 3/15, 12 p.m. at Old Bridge Family YMCA
> Fri., 3/17, 11:30 a.m. at Red Bank Family YMCA
