Did you know Father's Day started at the Y? 🎉

The first Father's Day service was held on July 19, 1910 — and the YMCA was right there, helping make it happen. Over a century later, we're still celebrating father figures of every kind: dads, stepdads, grandfathers, uncles, mentors, and the men who show up every day.

This Father's Day, give the gift of time together. The Y has something for every family — from swim lessons to pickleball to family fitness classes. Come make memories.

Happy Father's Day from YMCA of the Chesapeake. 💙

"We've been part of the TANDEM program for a year now, and it's truly been a blessing for both of us. As a caregiver, I've found a genuine sense of relief in knowing that I'm not alone. The time spent in T.A.N.D.E.M isn't just a break; it's an opportunity to connect with others who understand our journey."
— Mike & Carol, TANDEM Participants

Stories like Mike and Carol's are at the heart of why we created T.A.N.D.E.M. No one should walk the dementia journey alone — and at YMCA of the Chesapeake, we mean that.

T.A.N.DE.M. is free and open to individuals living with dementia and their care partners at the Easton Family YMCA and Queen Anne's County Family YMCA. Reach out to your local branch to get connected. 💙
