The Everybody Knows Your Name Place

🌟Meet Brenda,
Member since 2024

"Everyone knows me around here."
If you’ve visited the Indian River Family YMCA, chances are you’ve met Brenda, their unofficial 'official' greeter. Driven by her love for the Y, she is here almost every day to welcome both long-time members and fresh faces, hoping her bright energy lifts everyone’s day. No matter what kind of day she is having, Brenda is dedicated to greeting everyone with a warm, radiant smile that inspires and motivates. Thank you, Brenda, for being such a shining light in our community!

This photo says it all. Al is here with his family, standing beside the two women, Kassie and Kelly, whose quick action helped make this moment possible.

Saving his life forever changed this family. With only a couple of days left to vote, let’s show Kassie and Kelly how much that matters.

Saving one life forever changed this family.

When Al went into cardiac arrest, Kassie and Kelly stepped in, performed CPR and used an AED. Their quick action gave Al more time: more birthdays, more celebrations, more ordinary days with the people who love him and more days with us at the Y.

Kassie and Kelly are finalists for WTKR News 3’s Humanitarian of the Year Award, and only a couple of days remain to vote.

They showed up for Al and his family when it mattered most. Now it’s our turn to show up for them.

Voting closes soon! wtkr.com/everydayhero2026

Moments like this remind us why community partnerships matter so much. We are deeply grateful to Suffolk Public Schools for trusting our Suffolk Family YMCA team with their students’ water safety this summer. Seeing these sweet drawings and thank-you notes reminds us that building confidence around the water is a true team effort for our entire community!

This one warms our hearts! 💙🥹

Every summer, we partner with Suffolk Public Schools to provide FREE Safety Around Water programming to roughly 200 students, helping ensure that kids in our community have the skills and confidence they need to be safer in and around water. 🏊‍♀️

And then we received these precious thank-you notes from some of our participants! 🥹💙

We’re not crying… you’re crying! 😭

This is why we do what we do. Water safety saves lives, and every child deserves the opportunity to learn.
