Every person deserves the Y. That is not just something we say. It is why we do what we do.

Yesterday our staff, board members and volunteers gathered for our Annual Campaign Symposium, the day we come together to talk about how we make sure the Y remains accessible to every San Diego family, no matter their circumstances. And yesterday reminded us just how much we love doing it together.

There is something special about being in a room full of people who are all in on the Ys mission. Learning from each other, getting inspired, and leaving more energized than when we walked in.

Our opening speaker Grant Oliphant of the April Prebys reminded us that neighbor is not a geographic concept. It is a moral principle. Our keynote speaker reminded us that gratitude is still the most powerful tool we have, and she made us laugh the whole way through getting there.

And our EVP Shelly McTighe-Rippengale said it best: we get to do this. We do not have to. We get to change people’s lives.

That includes yours.

Every gift to the Y is a gift to someone in this community who needs it most. Every gift to the Y is a gift to someone in this community who needs it most. Thank you for being part of this. 🫶 ymcasd.org/give

This is what thriving looks like. 🩵

Last Wednesday our Y members took over Mission Bay for the 23rd Annual YMCA Day at the Bay at Mission Bay Aquatic Center.

Kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, bay walks, lawn games, Zumba, fitness classes, and this year we added a sandcastle building contest!With over 150 people attending this year, it is safe to say this event has a very special place in our community's heart. Watching everyone show up, connect, laugh, and enjoy our gorgeous San Diego Bay together is the best. That is what this day is really about.

This event sells out every single year so mark your calendars now! Day at the Bay 2027 is set for Tuesday, October 6th, right in the middle of Active Aging Week, October 4 to 10. Keep an eye on your email for registration details when the time comes! Thank you to all who came out to enjoy the day with us!

A huge thank you to our partners United Healthcare, SBHIS, and Coastal Pay for helping make this day possible, and to Mission Bay Aquatic Center for being the perfect backdrop for Day at the Bay.

We came for the food. We stayed for the stories. And then we danced. 💃🏽

Last Friday our Community, Bridging and Engagement Collaborative brought Y staff together to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month in the best way possible. A potluck full of dishes from across Latin cultures, a bow making station, a full on talk show hosted by Justin Lipford featuring panelists Anna Arancibia (Jackie Robinson Family YMCA), Erick Posada (South Bay Family YMCA), Francis Osejo Jordan (YMCA Expanded Learning Programs), Bertha Campos (Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA), and Valeria Ruiz Griego (Casas YMCA para la Niñez y Juventud en Movilidad), and a DJ to close it all out.

Our panelists shared their stories, their culture, and what they want the next generation to know. It was a conversation, not a presentation. And there were plenty of laughs.

This is what the Y is all about. Everyone welcome. Every story worth celebrating. 🇲🇽 🇪🇸 🇨🇷 🇸🇻 🇬🇹 🇭🇳 🇳🇮 🇵🇦 🇨🇺 🇩🇴 🇵🇷 🇦🇷 🇧🇴 🇨🇱 🇨🇴 🇪🇨 🇵🇾 🇵🇪 🇺🇾 🇻🇪 🇬🇶
