Fox 8's Kenny Crumpton stopped by Public Square this morning as part of his Kickin' It with Kenny series, highlighting the many events and activities planned for downtown Cleveland this summer through Downtown Cleveland, Inc. (DCI).

As a proud DCI partner, the YMCA of Greater Cleveland was excited to be part of the fun. Kenny spent some time with our Group Exercise Coordinator, Lisa Conner, learning about Total Body Blast, the free outdoor fitness class we'll be leading in Public Square on Monday evenings throughout the summer.

Looking for a fun way to stay active, connect with others and enjoy downtown Cleveland? Join us this summer in Public Square!

Today, the YMCA of Greater Cleveland Board of Directors welcomed new Board Chair Justin Binns and recognized the outstanding leadership of outgoing Chair LaRese Purnell.

LaRese's service as board chair helped guide our YMCA through both challenges and opportunities, leaving our organization stronger and better positioned for the future. As we celebrated his contributions, LaRese reflected on his own YMCA journey, sharing that he was once a "Y kid" who found positive role models, safe spaces and life-changing opportunities through the YMCA. He remarked that the YMCA was one of the organizations that helped save his life and shaped many of the decisions he made during his formative years.

Today, his story has come full circle. From a young person impacted by the Y to the leader of our Board of Directors, LaRese's journey is a powerful reminder of the lasting difference the YMCA can make in a person's life.

Thank you, LaRese, for your leadership, your passion and your continued commitment to strengthening our community. 💜
