✨ FULL GALLERY NOW LIVE! ✨

On June 4, we danced, we cheered, and we celebrated the power of community at the 2nd Annual Dancing with the Stars – Memphis, presented by Leaders Credit Union!

Held at the Agricenter, this unforgettable evening brought together community leaders, passionate supporters, and incredible performances- all in support of the YMCA's mission to strengthen Memphis and the Mid-South.

🎉 In its second year, together we raised more than $228,000!

A safe tomorrow starts today, and thanks to your support, more young people will have the opportunities, resources, and encouragement they deserve to thrive.

🌟 8 local celebrity couples + months of practice = one unforgettable night and a lasting impact for children and families across Memphis and the Mid-South.

This Father’s Day, we recognize the dads and father figures who give their time, share their wisdom, and lead with heart.

Thank you for helping create stronger families and brighter communities.

Happy Father’s Day from your Y. 💙

What an incredible day for Whitehaven! 💙💦

We were honored to celebrate the official ribbon cutting of the Robertson Family Aquatics Center at the Georgette & Cato Johnson YMCA alongside community leaders, partners, donors, members, and neighbors who helped make this vision a reality.

This investment is about more than a pool—it's about creating opportunities for children to learn lifesaving skills, families to stay active together, and our community to thrive for years to come.

Thank you to everyone who played a role in bringing this transformational project to life. The future is brighter—and a little cooler—in Whitehaven! ☀️🏊‍♀️

HERNANDO, MS

It was a great day at the Flats at Delta Landing! Our YMCA leadership team joined with partners and community leaders to provide an update on the Dan Maddox YMCA project that will make its home in the Delta Landing community.

We are so thankful for the Maddox Foundation and Robin Hurdle's vision, alongside the McBride family to bring the project to Delta Landing, along with Mayor Chip Johnson and the City of Hernando, and all community stakeholders who have helped us along the way.

The Dan Maddox YMCA will create a community hub and focal point for families and community members.

There has already been so much great work completed at Delta Landing, and we are excited for what's to come!
