YMCA of the Palm Beaches Initiates Summer Fun(d) with Publix Super Markets Charities' Support
The YMCA of the Palm Beaches has launched the Summer Fun(d), supported by a $17,000 grant from Publix Super Markets Charities, to provide financial assistance for underserved families accessing Y programs and services.
The YMCA of the Palm Beaches has introduced the Summer Fun(d), a initiative aimed at supporting underserved families in Palm Beach County by offering financial assistance and scholarships for Y programs and services. This initiative ensures access to swim lessons, after-school care, summer camp, and wellness classes, reinforcing the YMCA's commitment to community inclusivity.
Publix Super Markets Charities has contributed a $17,000 grant to kickstart the fund, aligning with its mission to aid nonprofit organizations in helping individuals in need. This donation underscores the legacy of Publix's founder, George Jenkins, who was a staunch supporter of giving back to the community.
Tim Coffield, President and CEO of the YMCA of the Palm Beaches, expressed gratitude for the donation, highlighting its role in promoting healthy living among community members. The Summer Fun(d) is particularly timely, as the YMCA gears up for its summer programs, including Summer Swim Camps and Weekends at the Y, offering opportunities for children and adults of all abilities to engage in swimming lessons and other activities.
