Yesterday, we welcomed community leaders, advocates, and supporters to our Women of the Y Spring Luncheon: Let Her Play. Watch Her Rise.
We were honored to hear from Tonya Haave, who shared her experiences as both an athlete and coach, and Sandria Bolden, who reflected on her time at the YMCA as a young girl and how being an athlete has shaped who she is today. Their stories highlighted the lasting impact that sports, mentorship, and supportive communities can have on girls throughout their lives.
Thank you to our Champion Sponsor, Niagara Bottling, for helping make this event possible and for supporting opportunities that empower girls to grow in confidence, leadership, and resilience.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped celebrate the power of investing in girls. Together, we are creating more opportunities for the next generation to play, grow, lead, and rise.

Water Smart Rule # 5: Don’t Hold Your Breath (literally)
Breath-holding contests? Yeah, let’s not.
They might seem like harmless fun, but breath-holding games in the
water can be seriously dangerous, even for strong swimmers.
🚫Holding your breath too long can lead to shallow water blackout, a
silent and sudden emergency that can happen without warning.

🏊‍♀️ At the Y, we teach that water safety isn’t just about swimming, it’s
about smart choices. So, skip the contests, and keep the fun safe for
everyone.

Our Summer Camp team has been hard at work all week preparing for an unforgettable season ahead! ☀️🎨🏃‍♀️
From safety training and team-building activities to learning new games, crafts and camp traditions, our staff is putting in the time and effort to make sure every camper has a safe, fun and memorable summer.

Camp officially begins Monday, and we can't wait to welcome hundreds of campers through our doors! As you visit our YMCAs and camp locations, please use extra caution in parking lots and around our facilities as children will be arriving, departing and enjoying summer activities throughout the day.

Here's to a summer filled with adventure, friendship and lifelong memories! 💙🌲

Fred Hoshiyama’s legacy is one of resilience, leadership, and lasting
impact. Born in 1914, Hoshiyama dedicated nearly four decades to the
YMCA—from 1941 to 1980—except for the years he was unjustly
incarcerated during WWII. Even then, he didn’t stop serving others.
While in the internment camp, he created YMCA-style programs to
support the social, educational, and recreational needs of fellow
Japanese Americans. In the 1970s, he helped revitalize the YMCA
student movement, and today, a scholarship in his name continues to
empower Y staff of Asian American Pacific Islander heritage to grow as
leaders. His story is a powerful reminder of how one person can shape
a movement.
