Today, we honor Juneteenth.

Juneteenth commemorates the day that enslaved African Americans in Texas learned of their freedom—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. It is a day to celebrate freedom, reflect on our nation's history, and recognize the ongoing pursuit of equity and justice.

At the Downtown Hartford YMCA, we are committed to building a community where everyone feels welcome, valued, and empowered to thrive.

Happy Juneteenth as we celebrate freedom, resilience, and hope for a brighter future together.

Do you have a bike your child has outgrown? We could use your help!

The Downtown Hartford YMCA is currently seeking donations of gently used children's bicycles for youth ages 6–12 participating in our Race4Chase program.

Race4Chase is a free youth triathlon camp that teaches children how to swim, bike, and run while building confidence, healthy habits, and a love for physical activity. Many of the children in our program do not have access to a bicycle, and donated bikes help ensure that every participant has the opportunity to learn how to ride and complete their very first triathlon.

Every bike donated will go directly to a child in our program and help remove barriers to participation.

If you have a gently used bicycle that you'd like to donate, please contact the Downtown Hartford YMCA at [email protected] or stop by the Welcome Center for more information.

Thank you for helping us create life-changing opportunities for Hartford youth!
