DIGIAL BANNER RECOGNITION PROGRAM

Our members and friends call us THEIR Y. We call them OUR greatest resource—
the thousands of people who work alongside us and support our work to help our neighbors learn, grow and thrive.
The power of a Y partnership gives local businesses, organizations and individuals an opportunity to make a meaningful enduring impact in our neighborhood.  Our PARTNER & PATRONS DIGITAL BANNER PROGRAM allows your business to make an annual donation of $250 or more and we recognize your gift with a personalized digital banner displayed throughout the Y. You make our community better and the “us” who live in it stronger. Every dollar you give to the Y’s Annual Campaign can change the life of a child, teen or a family in need. No one is ever turned away.
If you are ready to be a PARTNER OR PATRON of the Banner Campaign, complete the form and return to the Y and/or contact the Y for more information. Thank you for your consideration and continued support!

Y-GRADALES

In 1930, six high school graduates in Toward, Pa. created a group to continue beyond graduation with guidance from Emery M. Nelson, director of the State YMCA, and Miss Jean Holcomb, a high school English teacher and former Girl Reserve leader.  They helped the young women develop the Gradale Sorority.  This idea of Y-Gradale spread throughout Pennsylvania and in to Ohio and beyond.

      Y-Gradale is composed of women whose basic purpose of the YMCA is to cultivate Christian ideals, attainment of Christian character and personality and the development of a high type of womanhood, through a program of religious emphasis, personal growth, social activities and service to others.
     Currently, the Waynesboro YMCA carries the portfolio for our State organization.  There are three Chapters of Y-Gradale presently in Pennsylvania.  Two of these Chapters are in Waynesboro:  Waynesboro Beta & Waynesboro Delta; and the third one is Scottdale Beta Chapter in western Pa.
     We support and donate to Waynesboro Community and Human Services, New Hope Shelter, The Lunch Place, Antietam Humane Society, The Institute, UMCOR, The Sioux YMCA (now called The Council of 7 Fires) in Dupree, South Dakota, plus more!
***Gradale is Latin for “Holy Grail”, which was the emblem on the shield which Sir Galahad carried on his search for the Holy Grail.  The Y-Gradale motto is:  Sequere Lucem meaning “follow the light”.
If you would like to join in this outstanding organization and “Make CHRIST and his teachings the blueprint for your life”  contact 717-387-2059 or mustang671@comcast.net for more details.
