Dear Friends, In 2019, the Peninsula Metropolitan YMCA became the YMCA of the Virginia Peninsulas!

The new name is an outward sign of the change in our internal strategy and more accurately reflects our footprint and the uniqueness of each YMCA and the communities they serve.

This change was driven by the adoption of our long-range strategic plan, Focus on Our Future.

In this plan, we have committed to: -

Don Buckless

Deepen Our Impact - Strengthen Our Brand - Build Our Capacity and Expand Our Reach In 2019, we added the YMCA Health and Wellness Center in Hampton, opened the state-of-the-art Monroe Family Aquatic Center in Kilmarnock, and renovated the bathhouse at Camp Kekoka. All of these new additions will improve the member experience!

Through our 17 centers, the YMCA of the Virginia Peninsulas provided membership and program subsidies to 90,058 families and individuals, totaling $2,631,162. This would not be possible without the support of our donors and volunteers. Thank you!

Adam Klutts

We are deeply grateful to those who have helped the YMCA accomplish so much good work in 2019.

Last year, with our community partners and over 2,500 encouraging volunteers, our Y served over 1,500,000 program participants of all ages, faiths, genders, and cultures. We were able to do this through the 3,000 donors that gave over $1.5M to support our cause.

As we focus on our future, we continue to celebrate our past. Because of you, the YMCA of the Virginia Peninsulas will continue to strengthen our communities in the areas of Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. We have been serving the Virginia Peninsulas for over 120 years, and we are just getting started!

Help Kids Succeed.

Chris Gibson has been a volunteer shopper with our Bright Beginnings program for the past three years. Looking back, he remembers being on the receiving end of Bright Beginnings as he was able to get back to school supplies he needed when he and his family needed it most. Because he knew how much receiving the items helped him and his family as a child, he saw an opportunity to give back. “I know that my family had struggled, and I know other families are struggling, so I decided to help my community,” Chris says. “I walk out of there with a smile on my face, knowing that I helped someone - I hope that child I help will be able to do what I’m doing in the future.”

Help people live a healthy lifestyle.

Recognizing the need for unique fitness opportunities for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, Rob and Richard created a class based on boxing. As participants take strides through obstacles and hurdles while participating in motorcoordination skill development, the class ends with its greatest highlight: the sparring with Rob and Richard. Not only do the two enjoy the class as leaders, they also enjoy seeing the participants light up. They see a noticeable difference as they become more energetic and focused during the sparring.

It’s a fitness program unlike any other, connecting people as they stay active to combat the effects of Parkinson’s. “These guys become a family, as they’re very supportive of each other,” Rob shares. “That’s almost as important as the class in and of itself.”

Prevent drowning.

Wanda Smith is a volunteer instructor with the Y’s Safety Around Water program. Wanda didn’t grow up around water, which led her to fear it after coming close to drowning. At the age of 40, she enrolled in our swim lesson program to overcome her fear and learn to swim. Inspired by an upcoming cruise with her husband, she was determined to learn, spending time outside of the lessons perfecting her skills. Her efforts didn’t go unnoticed, and staff at the Y asked her to be a part of Safety Around Water. “I never dreamed of being able to be a volunteer and give back as I help people learn to swim,” Wanda shares. “I had a fear that I overcame, and I know I can help others do the same.”

Help prepare teens for life.

When Will joined First Tee seven years ago, he was shy and quiet. As he continued on in the program, he began to make new friends, leading him to become more social as he opened up. For the past two years, he has served as a volunteer with First Tee, passing on the skills he has learned to younger program participants. Along with his new social and volunteer opportunities, Will is thankful to have learned the skills he has from the First Tee code of conduct, with his favorite being perseverance. “When I’m learning a new technique and having trouble, I remind myself to keep going until I eventually get it,” Will says. “I hope to pass this value down to the younger children and remind them to not give up.”

Greater West Point Family YMCA. Derek Healy gives back.

Derek began volunteering for the Y in 2015 in Summer Camp and at multiple YMCA community events, and he was named Teen Volunteer of the Year. Since 2017, Derek has coached a Youth Basketball team and states “I coach youth basketball because I enjoy seeing the kids grow from year to year, and seeing the bonds they develop with one another that will last a lifetime.”

First Tee of the Virginia Peninsula. Rob Cobb leads with his heart.

Rob has been volunteering with First Tee since 2016 and is a great role model for all participants. He is able to lighten the mood on the golf course with his friendly and laid-back mannerisms, especially when a participant is having a tough day. He coaches participants through life with good advice and is always willing to give a helping hand when there is a need for assistance. He is a valuable asset to the First Tee team and we are immensely grateful for him.

YMCA Health & Wellness Center. Teresa Dorsey cares about others.

Since the opening of the YMCA Health & Wellness Center, Teresa has been an advocate for active adults. She has a special connection to the center as it is where she learned to swim. She is passionate about building a community where active older adults come together and connect as isolation can be a barrier for many. Most recently a leader of the annual campaign, she also serves by coordinating members’ potlucks and gatherings and participating in activities as she shares her experience with other members.

Tom & Ann Hunnicutt Family YMCA. David Turner builds relationships. David is loved by many and makes the Y a better place.

He is an avid Pickleball player and can be found on the wellness floor exercising and talking to everyone almost daily, encouraging others and building relationships. He volunteers his time with the Annual Campaign and Togetherhood year after year, always putting the needs of others above his own. David is always willing to help in any way and is a true example of what supporting others and the Y looks like.

Northern Neck Family YMCA. Bev Upshur represents our values.

Bev is a significant contributor of her time, talents, and resources during our annual Festival of the Trees. She is also a volunteer shopping buddy for Bright Beginnings. This, in addition to her meaningful leadership with the Festival of the Trees, shows her contagious optimism for raising support and sharing the Y’s story. Her hands-on approach secured significant member support of the Festival of the Trees and her leadership makes the Y a better place to be.

Northumberland Family YMCA. Kathy Peebles is committed.

Kathy serves as a volunteer instructor for our LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program, where she consistently creates a supportive and positive environment for participants. She’s often found at the front of a Zumba class, encouraging and motivating members. Kathy also volunteers her time (and her desserts!) to our annual Dinner Auction to the Annual Campaign. Her kind-hearted leadership is appreciated by our Y community.

Hampton Family YMCA and Fort Monroe YMCA. Martha Davis makes a difference. Martha is in her fourth year on the Hampton and Fort Monroe YMCA Advisory Board. She is a leader in the Annual Campaign, and spends time helping other volunteers reach their goals for the benefit of the children and families. She makes time to visit and participate in every special event and learn about program initiatives in order to share the Y’s purpose with others.

Mathews Family YMCA. Alan and Linda Fleming care about their community. During the Summer of 2019, the Flemings were vital in producing a successful sailing program. The Flemings worked tirelessly with our staff to provide our youth with the know-how and confidence to navigate the waters. From boat repair to in-class instruction, the Flemings were a staple for our sold-out sailing program. We cannot thank them enough for their enormous impact on our youth and the invaluable lessons they shared with everyone.
