YMCA Launches Summer Fun(d) with Publix Charities' Support

The YMCA of the Palm Beaches has launched the Summer Fun(d), a special initiative aimed at supporting underserved families in Palm Beach County. This fund provides financial assistance and scholarships for access to YMCA programs such as swim lessons, after-school care, summer camp, and wellness classes, ensuring no one is turned away due to inability to pay. The initiative is bolstered by a $17,000 grant from Publix Super Markets Charities, reflecting their commitment to supporting nonprofit organizations that help individuals and families in need. Tim Coffield, President and CEO of the YMCA of the Palm Beaches, expressed gratitude for Publix Charities' support, highlighting the importance of such partnerships in fostering community well-being.

With summer being a peak time for YMCA activities, including Summer Swim Camps and Weekends at the Y, the Summer Fun(d) represents a critical investment in the community's future, particularly for children. The YMCA of the Palm Beaches, with over a century of service, continues to uphold its mission of providing safe and nurturing environments for all, regardless of financial status.
