The Family Gym got a facelift and looks so amazing!!

Thank you to Johnson Painting for doing such a great job and letting us keep the gym open during the process!

A huge thank you to Graham Health System for their donation toward our Capital Campaign for a new PlayZone and Teen Center!

"I’ve been very blessed over a long career at Graham Health System, and it’s very rewarding be able to personally give back a little of that blessing to an organization like the Knox County YMCA. Adam and his team in Galesburg do a fantastic job, and the much needed upcoming capital project deserves our full corporate and personal support." - Bob Senneff, President & CEO
