YMCA of the Palm Beaches Initiates 'Summer Fun(d)' with Publix Super Markets Charities' Support

The YMCA of the Palm Beaches has introduced the 'Summer Fun(d)' initiative, a program designed to offer financial assistance and scholarships to underserved families in Palm Beach County. This initiative ensures that individuals and families can participate in YMCA programs such as swim lessons, after-school care, summer camp, and wellness classes, regardless of their financial situation. The program is made possible through a generous $17,000 grant from Publix Super Markets Charities, aligning with their mission to support nonprofit organizations that aid people in need within their communities.

Tim Coffield, President and CEO of the YMCA of the Palm Beaches, expressed gratitude for the donation, highlighting its role in fostering programs that nurture a healthy spirit, mind, and body. The Summer Fun(d) is particularly timely, as the YMCA gears up for its summer activities, including Summer Swim Camps, Weekends at the Y, and swimming lessons for individuals of all abilities. Coffield emphasized the importance of investing in the community's future, especially for children, through such initiatives.

The YMCA of the Palm Beaches has been a cornerstone in the community for over a century, offering programs and services that cater to children, seniors, and families. The organization's commitment to inclusivity ensures that no one is turned away due to inability to pay, a principle that the Summer Fun(d) further reinforces.
