The YMCA of Greater Brandywine recently issued its 2017 Annual Report and would like to thank all its members, staff, board members, donors, and volunteers who contributed to another successful year.

“Every day at the YMCA, people of all ages, shapes, sizes, abilities, backgrounds, cultures, and ethnicities come together, exemplifying what our community stands for,” writes CEO Denise Day and Board Chair Kenneth Goddu. “No matter who you are, you have a place at the YMCA. And no matter what you want to accomplish, there is always someone at the Y willing to help you do it. We are a community that stands united.”
