We’ve been hanging out with the running club at Baker Middle School as they prep for Sound to Narrows this Saturday. 🏃‍♀️ What’s coach Matthew looking forward to most on race day?

“I'm looking forward to hopefully big smiles for them when they get across and realize that they’ve done something really impressive. I'm hoping their families will be there to see them and support them.”

When Melissa, a long-time Y staffer, casually mentioned to a member that she had a wife and her own daughter was taking classes at the Y, the member broke down in tears.

"She cried at the front desk because she realized the Y would be okay with her son having two moms and her coaching his team," Melissa recalls. "I can't imagine wanting to do something with and for my daughter and thinking I wasn't able to because they weren't accepted in this program."

Happy Pride Month. The Y is For All.

For many military families, summer camp isn’t always within reach.

Through a long-standing partnership with the Armed Services YMCA, we’re helping change that. This year, more than 100 local kids will get to experience day camp, over night camp, and family camp.

Over 200 YMCA lifeguards from Pierce and Kitsap counties came together to celebrate National Water Safety Month in May. Throughout the event we had an impactful presentation and team connection, all focused on one important goal: helping keep our communities safe around water. We’re proud to continue investing in water safety, strong teams, and the people who help create safer pools for all.

“We started small and just asked him to try,” said Gloria, Enando’s stepmom. “Now he really loves being here.”

Over the past year, 11-year-old Enando has built healthier habits and more confidence at the YMCA. 💙

Through biking, swimming, and strength activities with his family, he’s become more active, significantly reduced his screen time, improved his routines, and lost 30 pounds.
