Honored to welcome the U.S. Navy to Charlotte! 🇺🇸
This week, we’re proud to be part of Navy Week, hosting and connecting with Sailors across our community. This morning, we kicked things off at the Dowd YMCA with a rooftop workout overlooking the Charlotte skyline.

Throughout the week, Sailors will be serving, engaging, and connecting across our YMCA centers and the broader community, from food shares to youth sports and more.

We’re grateful for their service, their presence, and their commitment to strengthening communities here in Charlotte and around the world.

If you see them at the Y or around town this week, say hello and help us give them a warm Queen City welcome 👋
