2019 ANNUAL REPORT
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
These capital investments will allow the Summit Area YMCA to collaborate with more local organizations and partners, serve more children and families, create additional programs of all disciplines and cement our role as the true community leader for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. 2019 was a busy and very productive year.
BERKELEY HEIGHTS YMCA
Construction of the new 40,000 square foot Berkeley Heights branch and the accompanying new outdoor, heated, Olympic-size pool was in full swing in 2019. Support from many area corporations, foundations and individuals were critical in helping us complete this important project where our primary focus was to expand our service to the community. It has been more than 10 years since there was a new YMCA branch built in New Jersey and we are proud that, together, we made this happen. The New Berkeley Heights YMCA celebrated its Grand Opening on February 29, 2020.

"It is not about the building, square footage, or the pool. It is about expanding our mission, increasing our impact and having the ability to really change lives."

SUMMIT YMCA
With the construction of the new Berkeley Heights facility drawing to a close, in 2019 the Summit Area YMCA continued planning for upgrades and renovations to the Summit YMCA, a historic branch that has been the cornerstone of our community for the last 135 years and a facility that welcomes and provides services for all. The Summit Area YMCA is currently working to secure additional funding needed for all of the Summit YMCA capital needs so that construction can begin and continue in a timely manner.
