Memberships At New University Park Y Booming

3/2/2012

The great progress the University Park YMCA has made, has been featured on Ohio.com! Read Akron Beacon Journal writer Jim Carney's article on all that's been accomplished so far here.
 
The initial goal was 2,400 membership units by the end of 2011. As of the end of February, the University Park facility had 3,510 membership units, which includes individual members and families and about 800 units from Summa Health System. The number represents more than 7,000 adults and children. By contrast, the Canal Square YMCA had 800 membership units when it closed.
 
The new building is a “giant, diverse melting pot,” said Doug Kohl, Akron Area Y president and chief executive. “It is as diverse an organization as you ever are going to see.”


Friday @ 5 a boost for University Park YMCA

2/6/2012

On Friday, February 3, 2012 the University Park YMCA along with event sponsor Dr. Geraldine McDonald Carter, Ph.D., LLC hosted the 17th Annual Friday@5 Silent & Oral Auction event at the Portage Country Club in Akron.
 
Friday@5 participants enjoyed a delicious “grazing” dinner, dessert buffet, beverages and an evening of bidding fun with auction items such as African Safari Adventure, Hilton Head and Orlando condos, a hot air balloon ride, Akron Aeros Loge and much more!
 
The event has grown over the years as patrons and sponsors recognize the impact they are having on the many kids, teens, adults and families that look to the Y for encouragement, support and opportunities to learn, grow and thrive. This year 213 people attended and total of $34,100 was raised to benefit the Akron Area YMCA’s Partners With Youth Annual Giving Campaign.
