"As a teen, the Butler County Family YMCA was a healthy outlet for me—basketball, swimming, and weightlifting. I'll never forget the kindness of the Y Staff all those years, and I'm grateful for the opportunity now to bring my kids with the help of financial assistance." - A thankful dad

"I cannot thank the Y enough for the financial assistance and excellent childcare they provide. We consider them our second family." – Anna, Mom of four

"I love the Y's group fitness classes like TRX and Cycling. They are such a treat for me because I feel like I'm in great hands and part of a community. Everyone's rooting for each other." – Jamie, 10 Year Member

"I am working hard on learning the butterfly stroke now. I didn't even know how to swim before I came to the Y! I want to be a Navy Seal, and knowing how to swim is important. I love coming to my lessons, practicing on my own in the pool, and feeling proud when reaching a new goal." - Austin

"Before the pandemic, I generally would take 5 or 6 fitness classes a week in-person. Now that the pandemic continues, I'm still working out but at home. I'm still taking YMCA classes, but now virtually through Facebook and ZOOM! The instructors' quality and the level of their involvement with the participants in their class is still excellent. Please congratulate your staff for their fine work." - James
