2020 Annual Report - We're Here for Good
For more than 170 years, the YMCA has strengthened communities by connecting people to their potential, purpose and each other. But 2020 was a year unlike any other. We experienced isolation, loss, shutdowns, unemployment, food insecurity, civil unrest and more.

Letter from<br />
LEADERSHIP<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
The impact of a three-month government-mandated<br />
shutdown and ongoing pandemic have been devastating.<br />
Our revenue was reduced by 40% in <strong>2020</strong> and we had<br />
no choice but to lay off 60% of our talented staff team<br />
members to stay afloat. Member visits to the YMCA<br />
were down by 64% and many people placed their YMCA<br />
memberships on hold. Childcare and summer camp<br />
programming dropped by 38%.<br />
Nonetheless, as these once unimaginable challenges<br />
became devastating realities, our YMCA team charged<br />
toward the front lines. We hosted blood drives to address<br />
a nationwide shortage, organized food drives to ensure<br />
no one went hungry, launched virtual group exercise<br />
classes so everyone could remain active, established<br />
virtual coffee hours <strong>for</strong> seniors, offered online family<br />
activities and more.<br />
Additionally, we reimagined and reinvented almost<br />
every area of our operations to create the healthiest<br />
environment possible. Staff were retrained in the latest<br />
disease prevention protocols, equipment was relocated<br />
throughout our facilities to provide <strong>for</strong> social distancing,<br />
electro-static sprayers were purchased <strong>for</strong> thorough<br />
disinfection, needle point bi-polar ionization units (which<br />
neutralize viruses within minutes) were installed and<br />
much more.<br />

We’re here <strong>for</strong> good.<br />
For more than 170 years, the YMCA has strengthened communities by connecting<br />
people to their potential, purpose and each other. But <strong>2020</strong> was a year unlike any<br />
other. We experienced isolation, loss, shutdowns, unemployment, food insecurity,<br />
civil unrest and more.<br />
In spite of the tremendous loss <strong>2020</strong> brought, we also<br />
witnessed the tremendous strength of our community.<br />
With you on our team, we accomplished more than we<br />
ever could have imagined under these circumstances—<br />
and thanks to your support, we continue to ensure that<br />
everyone in our community can grow strong in spirit,<br />
mind and body. Thank You.<br />
We are—and will be—here <strong>for</strong> good.<br />
With gratitude,<br />

With parents working more than ever or not at all, activities canceled, school<br />
taught through electronic devices and playdates a distant memory, the pandemic<br />
has disrupted the lives of our children.<br />
Parents are reporting signs of stress in their kids such as clinginess, irritability, sleep disruption,<br />
fatigue and more. In <strong>2020</strong>, emergency room visits <strong>for</strong> mental health concerns in children ages 5–11<br />
rose 24% (Centers <strong>for</strong> Disease Control).<br />
While worrisome, experts point out that kids are resilient, especially when parents and caregivers<br />
help them through times of crisis by validating their feelings, ensuring they safely spend time with<br />
peers and staying active.<br />
That’s why when permitted to reopen last June, we were ready to offer childcare and camp with new<br />
health and safety procedures in place at the YMCA. More than 1,000 children attended weekly—<br />
and we had a great summer safely! We also began offering youth sports leagues and swim lessons again.<br />
And in the fall, when many schools went to virtual learning, we quickly trans<strong>for</strong>med parts of our YMCA<br />
facilities into learning centers and have provided students with academic support, enrichment activities<br />
and socialization opportunities ever since.<br />
Additionally, we continue to offer financial assistance to those in our community who have a need. With<br />
unemployment higher than ever, the need is great. But because of your generous donations, we’re able to<br />
ensure that no one is turned away from the Y due to an inability to pay.<br />

STAYING STRONG IN<br />
SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY<br />
Knowing the importance of staying strong in spirit, mind and body, the YMCA<br />
of Greater Brandywine (YGBW) has worked rapidly to develop new ways to ensure<br />
everyone can do this during the pandemic.<br />
Within weeks of the government-ordered shutdown our team quickly began offering virtual group<br />
exercise classes. Because these classes have continued gaining interest and growing in popularity,<br />
we’ve expanded the number and variety of classes offered virtually. Those with an active YGBW<br />
membership can access live and on demand classes at any time. Additionally, we’re offering<br />
outdoor group exercise classes.<br />
The pandemic changed our community in what seems like an instant,<br />
creating overwhelming need. When the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania<br />
ordered a shutdown of all businesses, all branches of the YMCA of Greater<br />
Brandywine were <strong>for</strong>ced to close temporarily, but that didn’t mean our work<br />
or mission stopped— far from it. We were just getting started.<br />
We looked carefully at the needs the pandemic was creating in our community and acted.<br />
We partnered with the American Red Cross and immediately began offering blood drives,<br />
safely collecting over 730 donations in our YMCA branches which helped more than<br />
2,190 patients.<br />
We partnered with several local organizations including the Chester County Food Bank,<br />
Kennett Area Community Services, Southern Chester County Opportunity Network, Square<br />
Root Collective and the United Way of Chester County, to organize food drives. Together,<br />
we collected more than 21,000 pounds of food that helped over 500 local families.<br />
We’ve also launched Virtual Connections, a weekly series of 30-minute webinars on topics that help<br />
viewers live an even more fulfilling life. Episodes have included maximizing health benefits, CPR<br />
and First Aid basics, stress management and even how to eat a full meal with just vegetables!<br />
Episodes are available both live and on demand <strong>for</strong> those with an active YGBW membership<br />
at virtual.ymcagbw.org.<br />
We created online family activities such as April Animal Madness, at-home STEM experiments<br />
and wellness challenges. We partnered with AT&T to deliver internet hotspots to students in<br />
our community without internet access so that they could complete their virtual schoolwork.<br />
We organized virtual coffee hours to prevent seniors from facing isolation, even organizing a<br />
drive-by celebration <strong>for</strong> a long-time YMCA member who turned 100 during the pandemic!<br />
Last fall, lots of YGBW members jumped back into their regular workout routine with our four-week<br />
“Back In Action at the Y” Challenge. And finally, at the end of <strong>2020</strong>, we partnered with more than 150<br />
YMCA Associations across the United States to participate in three wellness challenges in 2021. The first<br />
challenge which began this past February, had more than 1,800 people from the Chester County community<br />
signed up!<br />
Though it was an immensely difficult year, we were challenged to mobilize our mission in new and<br />
unexpected ways. Helping our community through these unprecedented times has been incredible<br />
and we look <strong>for</strong>ward to continuing to help everyone recover.<br />

<strong>2020</strong> YMCA SERVICE TO YOUTH AWARD<br />
The Service to Youth Award recognizes individuals and organizations whose dedication and ef<strong>for</strong>t have made a significant and<br />
positive difference in the lives of children in our community.<br />
Bill and Janet Lasko<br />
Bill and Janet Lasko are integral to<br />
the YMCA’s commitment of providing<br />
every child with the opportunity to<br />
learn, grow and thrive. Their support<br />
enables children to enjoy opportunities<br />
such as attending sleep-away camp,<br />
ensures youth programs like Believe and<br />
Achieve, Power Scholars and Youth and<br />
Government have needed resources and<br />
makes it possible <strong>for</strong> the Y to<br />
invest in critical needs such as a<br />
behavioral specialist.<br />
Additionally, the Laskos can often be<br />
found volunteering at YMCA holiday and<br />
camp events—even delivering pizza to<br />
the kids on what has become known as<br />
Pizza Friday. They have taken the time to<br />
get to know the children—it is not a rare<br />
occurrence to find Bill leading the kids in a<br />
camp cheer!<br />
Naturally embodying the YMCA’s mission,<br />
we—as well as our community—are<br />
<strong>for</strong>tunate <strong>for</strong> Bill and Janet’s commitment<br />
to helping every child thrive.<br />
<strong>2020</strong> YMCA DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD<br />
The Distinguished Service Award recognizes the ef<strong>for</strong>t and achievement of the YMCA’s most special friends and emphasizes the<br />
need <strong>for</strong> community service by all our citizens. Recipients of this award have set a standard of leadership that others follow.<br />
Daryl Thomas<br />
<strong>2020</strong> YMCA COMMUNITY PARTNER AWARD<br />
The Community Partner Award recognizes an organization or group that has demonstrated a commitment to the YMCA’s mission<br />
and values and has partnered with or supported the Y in outreach initiatives that strengthen the foundations of our community.<br />
Advantage Building & Facility Services, LLC<br />
For more than two decades,<br />
Daryl Thomas, Advisor to the<br />
CEO and Senior Vice President<br />
of Strategic Opportunities at<br />
Herr’s Foods, has generously<br />
shared his time, talent and<br />
treasure with the YMCA of<br />
Greater Brandywine (YGBW).<br />
As a member of YGBW’s Board of<br />
Directors, his insight and experience<br />
have been critical to ensuring our<br />
longevity and sustainability, especially<br />
during the pandemic. In addition to<br />
sharing his professional expertise,<br />
Daryl also invests his heart. “I love<br />
the Y mission, the WHOLE mission,<br />
and want to support youth through<br />
mentoring programs and by giving<br />
them a safe, fun place to grow and<br />
thrive,” he says.<br />
Even when Daryl learned that<br />
we were honoring him with our<br />
Distinguished Service Award, he<br />
responded selflessly, “I am honored to<br />
represent the great spirit of service<br />
and dedication typical of so many<br />
YMCA staff and volunteers. I accept<br />
this honor on behalf of all of us.” We<br />
couldn’t be prouder to honor Daryl<br />
with our Distinguished Service Award.<br />
For many years, Advantage Building<br />
& Facility Services, LLC, a successful<br />
and <strong>for</strong>ward-thinking real estate<br />
firm, has embraced the YMCA’s<br />
cause of strengthening all in Chester<br />
County in both words and deeds.<br />
The company has generously<br />
supported YMCA programs such<br />
as LIVESTRONG, which helps those<br />
living with, through and beyond<br />
cancer grow strong.<br />
With a unique understanding of<br />
commercial property management and<br />
maintenance, Trish Faidiga, owner of<br />
Advantage Building & Facility Services, LLC,<br />
is an indispensable advisor who serves on<br />
the YMCA of Greater Brandywine’s Board<br />
of Directors. Trish and members of her<br />
team also often assist in the planning of<br />
many of our fundraising events.<br />
In <strong>2020</strong>, as the pandemic caused<br />
temporary closures and financial<br />
uncertainty <strong>for</strong> the Y, Advantage stepped<br />
up once again, providing unrestricted<br />
operating support to YGBW. “The support<br />
and expertise that Trish and her company<br />
have generously shared is invaluable to the<br />
YMCA and truly enables us to be here <strong>for</strong><br />
good,” says Denise Day, YGBW President<br />
and CEO.<br />
