2021 Annual Report: Reigniting Our Community

Overall, the story of 2021 is a good one. We experienced increasing program enrollments, a rapidly growing pickleball community, strengthened connections in our group exercise and group fitness offerings, and booming camp enrollments. Our mission moments and testimonials tell similar stories of connections and impact.

2020 Annual Report: We're Here for Good

The impact of a three-month government-mandated shutdown and ongoing pandemic have been devastating. Our revenue was reduced by 40% in 2020 and we had no choice but to lay off 60% of our talented staff team members to stay afloat. Member visits to the YMCA were down by 64% and many people placed their YMCA memberships on hold. Childcare and summer camp programming dropped by 38%.

2016 Annual Report: For a Better Us

At the YMCA of Greater Brandywine, we believe that today's children are tomorrow's leaders and that all children deserve the opportunity to develop a powerful sense of self. When children and teens develop what they can achieve, they gain confidence and hope. The Y provides them with a safe place to learn, explore and connect. The Y is so much more than a 'gym an swim.' We are a community and a cause. We're proud that our programs motivate healthy living, bring families together and foster personal connections.
