Flashback Friday 🎉

A special surprise for our Afterschool participants!
Our youth had the opportunity to snap a quick photo with NBA star, Ja Morant, who stopped by the YMCA last week. Moments like these create excitement, inspiration, and lasting memories for the young people we serve.

The early bird gets the worm… or at least the workout! 💪🌅

Check out our 5:45 AM Functional Fitness crew from this morning! These early risers showed up, put in the work, and started their day with some serious energy. 🔥

There’s no better way to start the morning than moving, challenging yourself, and getting stronger together!

Way to show up, Y! 👏

🥕💛 Hunger Action Month

One in 8 children in the U.S. faces hunger. During Hunger Action Month, we're shining a light on the ways the YMCA of Sumter is helping make sure children in our programs have access to nutritious meals and snacks.

Since January, we've served approximately 550 children through our afterschool and summer programs. From June 1 through July 31 alone, our Y provided more than 10,000 meals and 5,000 snacks. We've also served more than 11,000 snacks through our afterschool program since January.

These numbers represent more than meals and snacks. They represent children who have the nourishment they need to learn, play, participate, and grow.

We're proud to do our part to help ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.

So it's the late 1800s and one day your mustache asks you, "Bro, do you even lift?" What's are you supposed to do?

Well, if you were Robert Roberts (for real, his name) you spend the next 20 or so years becoming a pioneer in the development of exercise and fitness programs, you invent a Pulley-Weight System (think cable machine but totally retro), and you coin the term "body building."
