A Letter From Our CEO

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your continued support of the YMCA of Greater Montgomery and the Historic Cleveland Avenue YMCA. Your partnership helps us provide children and families with safe spaces, caring mentors, nourishing meals, educational support, and opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive.

We invite you to join us on October 19 for the 15th Annual YMCA Golf Classic & Game Day at Wynlakes Golf & Country Club. This year’s event will bring our community together for a day of golf, mahjong, and pickleball in support of a goal much greater than the games we play.

Over the years, the YMCA Golf Classic has helped us serve more than 35,000 children and families through programs supported by our Annual Support Campaign. This year, we are working to raise $150,000 to help the Historic Cleveland Avenue YMCA continue providing:

  • Pre-K and after-school care
  • Summer day camp
  • Youth sports
  • Swim lessons and Safety Around Water
  • Brown Bag Bus feeding programs
  • YMCA memberships and financial assistance

For generations, the Cleveland Avenue YMCA has been more than a building. It has been a place where young people are encouraged to dream bigger, families find connection and support, and relationships are built that strengthen our entire community.

We hope you will join us as a sponsor, golfer, mahjong player, pickleball player, volunteer, or community partner. Your participation will move us closer to our $150,000 goal and help ensure that more children and families can access the programs and support they need.

Thank you for believing in the YMCA’s mission and in what is possible when people and purpose come together to create lasting impact. We are grateful for your partnership and look forward to seeing you on October 19.

With gratitude,

AJ Hernandez

President & CEO

YMCA of Greater Montgomery

Preserve Our History

The Historic Cleveland Avenue Y is located in the heart of the 36108 zip code. Within that zip code, the median household income is just $22,000 a year, leaving children in that community often wondering where their next meal may come from when not in school. They may also have limited access to afterschool care, summer camp, youth sports, or even the life-saving skill set of how to swim.

We serve over 500,000 meals a year to children at our Y and our mobile feeding unit called the Brown Bag Bus, as well as provide financial assistance to children and families in our community.

These scholarships provide access to YMCA memberships, afterschool care (so that parents can continue to work), youth sports, and summer camps. In addition, scholarships provide year-round swimming lessons at the Historic Cleveland Ave indoor pool, preventing drownings in a community where access to water is prevalent. The Historic Cleveland Avenue Y serves its community and makes a huge difference in the lives of children and families every day.
