A Message from Our Leadership
Dear Friends,
With your dedication and encouragement, 2015 was a successful year for our YMCA. Thank you for helping
us advance our mission and be there for our neighbors.
The YMCA was the first service organization in San Antonio. It was founded in 1876 by a group of
volunteers who wanted to serve cowboys, railroad employees and young men who had moved from rural
areas into the city to find employment.
Since 1876, the Y has evolved into so much more. We focus on youth development, healthy living and social
responsibility, ensuring that everyone has the chance to learn, grow and thrive. What hasn't changed is our
commitment to strengthen communities and bring people closer together.
Our YMCAs are actively strengthening our neighborhoods and communities. Every day our impact can be
felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child, and when a community
comes together for the common good.
4

Like those we serve, our success depends on our willingness to transform how we approach our work.
We must continually listen, respond and adapt. In doing so, we truly strengthen the foundations of our
community.
In 2015, we welcomed 220,000 children, teens, adults and seniors into Y programs, facilities, and special
events that inspired healthy living. We provided over $4 million in charitable assistance, scholarships,
subsidized and free programs, so that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive, regardless
of their financial circumstance. At our resident camp, YMCA Camp Flaming Arrow, we provided 350 kids of
military service members a week of camp where they connected with other kids just like them.
We also served 4,696 individuals through our medically based wellness programs. Together, the graduates
from our Diabetes Prevention Program and Y Living Program shed 2,743 pounds in 2015.
Additionally, we laid groundwork for the Mays Family YMCA at Potranco, which will be completed in the fall of
2016 and the Harvey E. Najim Family YMCA, which will be completed in the spring of 2017.
As we move forward, it is always good to look back at our accomplishments. Our long history can be
attributed to the support of people like you and the foresight of many Y leaders who came before us, who all
ensured that the Y evolved to serve the most pressing needs of each generation over the years.
The year 2016 has special meaning for the YMCA of Greater San Antonio. We began our journey of building
a stronger and healthier San Antonio 140 years ago. This annual report will highlight some of our cherished
moments in history and the impact that the Y is making on the greater San Antonio community.
We are grateful for our visionary volunteers, committed donors, loyal members and talented staff.
