This was a tremendous year for the YMCA of Central Kentucky as they hit a true milestone: celebrating 170 years of strengthening the community. Our local Y spent 2023:

  • Serving children + families
  • Helping seniors stay connected and well
  • Creating spaces for all to thrive healthily in body, mind, and spirit

The Y is able to continue to serve because of a supportive + engaged community — and they want to thank Lexingtonians for their ongoing support. Cheers to an even healthier, happier, and more equitable 2024 for all. Stay engaged with the Y.
