The Westfield Area YMCA is honored to receive a generous donation of $20,000 from the Westfield Area Y Men's Club. The majority of the funds will directly support the Y's Strong Kids+ Campaign, which provides financial assistance to individuals and families experiencing bona fide financial hardship in Cranford, Garwood, Mountainside, or Westfield.

The remaining amount will benefit other YMCA initiatives, including the rolling Capital Improvement Project, youth and teen programs, senior programs, and Adapt-Ability—social and recreational opportunities for adults age 18+ with special or adaptive needs.

The Y is incredibly thankful for their continued support and commitment, which plays a key role in expanding access to vital programs for people of all ages and abilities. This valued partnership will continue with the Y Men’s Club serving as a major supporter of the upcoming 20th Annual Golf Classic on June 9, 2025.
