YMCA

 

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Y is a leading nonprofit organization for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.  The Y offers programs, services and initiatives focused on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, according to the unique needs of our community.  As a charitable, volunteer-driven, community-based organization, the Danville Family YMCA derives its strength from its community roots and strong volunteers. Through collaborations with schools, hospitals and other non-profit organizations, we are able to further enhance and expand the programs and services we offer.

IMPACT STATEMENT

The local YMCA in Danville was housed for many, many years in a small downtown location.  In 1991-92 they began a long range plan study that included evaluations and recommendations from the members, board, and community.  Many years later, construction began and campaigns were generated to raise funding by grants and donations.  During this process, the Chatham Rotary decided to help with this project and we made the decision to donate to this cause.
