THE STORY OF THE GATEWAY REGION YMCA IS MORE THAN 170 YEARS IN THE MAKING, FROM ITS FOUNDING ON OCTOBER 13, 1853, AT THE 2ND BAPTIST CHURCH IN ST. LOUIS. FROM ITS VERY BEGINNINGS, THE Y'S MISSION HAS BEEN TO PUT CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES INTO PRACTICE THROUGH PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO BUILD HEALTHY SPIRITS, MINDS, AND BODIES FOR ALL. IT DOES THAT BY BEING COMMUNITY CENTERED; BRINGING PEOPLE OF ALL AGES TOGETHER TO BRIDGE THE GAPS IN COMMUNITY NEEDS; DEVELOPING THE POTENTIAL TO LEARN, GROW, AND THRIVE; AND MAINTAINING A LOCAL PRESENCE WITH A GLOBAL REACH. IN 2024, OUR ASSOCIATION SERVED NEARLY 215,000 INDIVIDUALS IN THE BI-STATE REGION THROUGH MEMBERSHIP AND PROGRAMS, EMPLOYING APPROXIMATELY 4,400 FULL-TIME AND PART-TIME INDIVIDUALS. ADDITIONALLY, WE ENGAGED MORE THAN 2,800 VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE ESSENTIAL TO PROMOTING OUR CAUSE AND ENSURING OUR FUTURE AS A VITAL NOT-FOR-PROFIT COMMITTED TO DEVELOPING COMMUNITY BEYOND OUR WALLS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2 IN 2024, WE BUILT-ON THE SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION OF OUR FIVE-YEAR, $55 MILLION COMPREHENSIVE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN THAT RAISED MORE THAN $59 MILLION. WE ARE THANKFUL TO THE THOUSANDS OF SUPPORTERS WHO MADE THAT POSSIBLE. WHILE THE CAMPAIGN CAME TO AN END, WE LEARNED THAT MORE THAN EVER, THERE IS GREAT NEED IN OUR REGION AND IN SO MANY WAYS, OUR WORK IS JUST BEGINNING. LAST YEAR, WE CELEBRATED THE LAUNCH, PROGRESS, AND COMPLETIONS OF MAJOR PROJECTS OR MILESTONES WITH LEADING COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO SERVE NEW AUDIENCES IN NEED. ON JUNE 25, 2024, THE GATEWAY REGION YMCA OPENED THE YMCA ADAPTIVE SPORTS COMPLEX THAT INCLUDES A MIRACLE LEAGUE BASEBALL FIELD, INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND AND MULTI-PURPOSE FIELD SO KIDS AND ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES CAN PLAY SPORTS. THE $5 MILLION STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY WAS MADE POSSIBLE THANKS TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN. IN ATTENDANCE FOR THE RIBBON CUTTING WAS FORMER ST. LOUIS CARDINALS FIRST BASEMAN PAUL GOLDSCHMIDT, WHOM THE FIELD IS NAMED AFTER. THE GATEWAY REGION YMCA AND THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS WERE EXCITED TO LAUNCH THE MOBILE Y, WHICH INCLUDES THREE MOBILE DJ UNITS, VIDEO GAMES, THE SCHOOL OF BEATS CURRICULUM FOR TRAINING, STEAM PROGRAMMING, RECREATIONAL GAMES SUCH AS KICKBALL, SOCCER, CARD GAMES, AND CORNHOLE, AND FREE RESOURCES INCLUDING HOUSING ASSISTANCE, UTILITY ASSISTANCE, MENTAL HEALTH CARE, AND FOOD ACCESS. FUNDED THROUGH THE OFFICE OF VIOLENCE PREVENTION USING AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) FUNDS, THE MOBILE Y BRINGS THESE FREE RESOURCES TO TEENS AND YOUTH 18 AND YOUNGER IN THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS AND THEIR COMMUNITIES, ESPECIALLY THOSE MOST IMPACTED BY GUN VIOLENCE. IT PROVIDES A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUTH AND COMMUNITIES WHO CAN'T EASILY ACCESS PHYSICAL Y LOCATIONS TO STILL ENGAGE WITH ALL THE YMCA HAS TO OFFER. SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS CONTINUED THROUGH MANY FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS AIMED AT ADDRESSING ONGOING NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE, HAVING LAUNCHED RENOVATIONS AT 10 BRANCHES LAST YEAR ALONE. IN SEPTEMBER, THE Y COMPLETED THE ADDITION OF A 6,300 SQUARE FOOT GYMNASIUM TO THE O'FALLON, MISSOURI YMCA. THIS SECOND GYMNASIUM WILL ALLOW THE Y TO EXPAND HEALTH AND WELLNESS SERVICES, AND ESPECIALLY ALLOW IT TO SERVE THE HIGH DEMAND FOR SPORTS AND OTHER YOUTH ACTIVITIES IN THE O'FALLON AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. THE Y ALSO BROKE GROUND ON A $9 MILLION EXPANSION AND RENOVATION PROJECT TO THE CHESTERFIELD YMCA TO BETTER SERVE THE CHANGING AND GROWING NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE RENOVATED FACILITY WILL REIMAGINE THE Y FOR THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDING A MODERNIZED FITNESS AND WELLNESS EXPERIENCE, EXPANDED PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH AND ADULTS, CRITICAL NEW SPACES FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH AND NUTRITION PROGRAMS, AND YOUTH EDUCATION AND SUPPORT. COMPLETION IS EXPECTED SUMMER 2025. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A THE Y IS COMMITTED TO IMPROVING AMERICA'S HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. WE BRING FAMILIES CLOSER TOGETHER, ENCOURAGE GOOD HEALTH AND FOSTER CONNECTIONS THROUGH FITNESS, SPORTS, FUN AND SHARED INTERESTS. FOR EXAMPLE, IN 2024, 2,868 PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY PARTICIPATED IN PERSONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS TO ACHIEVE GREATER HEALTH IN SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY. MORE THAN 17,700 SWIM LESSONS WERE GIVEN, TEACHING MANY CHILDREN AND ADULTS VALUABLE WATER SAFETY AND SWIMMING SKILLS. THE Y'S SIZE AND REACH AS A VITAL COMMUNITY ASSET UNIQUELY POSITIONS THE ORGANIZATION TO BRIDGE THE GAP IN THE DELIVERY OF SWIM LESSONS AND WATER SAFETY EDUCATION. ALSO, 20,944 YOUTH SPORTS PARTICIPANTS GAINED CONFIDENCE AND LEARNED NEW SKILLS. OUR SERVICES INCLUDE PROVIDING EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT PEOPLE IN CHANGING THEIR LIFESTYLES, FIGHTING CHRONIC DISEASES, MANAGING STRESS LEVELS AND ADOPTING FITNESS AND NUTRITIONAL BEHAVIORS. FOR EXAMPLE, 150 INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATED IN A 12-MONTH, GROUP-BASED PROGRAM TO ENCOURAGE BEHAVIORAL CHANGE TO REDUCE THE RISK FOR DIABETES, WHILE 62 INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATED IN AN EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM COMBINING BLOOD PRESSURE SELF-MONITORING, NUTRITION EDUCATION SEMINARS, AND PERSONALIZED SUPPORT. ALSO, 202 INDIVIDUALS WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE PARTICIPATED IN REGULAR EXERCISE TO HELP EXTEND MOBILITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH OUR EXERCISE FOR PARKINSON'S PROGRAM. ADDITIONALLY, LIVESTRONG AT THE YMCA ALLOWED 167 SURVIVORS TO PARTICIPATE IN A FREE 12-WEEK WELLNESS PROGRAM FOR ADULT CANCER SURVIVORS. AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE ARRAY OF PROGRAMS OFFERED THROUGH THE Y, 479 ADULTS ATTENDED MENTAL HEALTH WORKSHOPS HOSTED AT THE Y TO HELP ESTABLISH HEALTHY HABITS IN SUPPORT OF THEIR MENTAL HEALTH AND THAT OF THEIR CHILDREN, AND TO BE A MORE RESPONSIVE CAREGIVER. OUR PROGRAMS ARE ACCESSIBLE, AFFORDABLE AND OPEN TO ALL FAITHS, BACKGROUNDS, ABILITIES AND INCOME LEVELS. IN 2024, WE PROVIDED $2,498,000 IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO PEOPLE WHO OTHERWISE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD TO PARTICIPATE. FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS, OUR Y HAS PROVIDED AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE MEMBERS AND PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS OF ALL ABILITIES ARE ABLE TO TAKE PART EQUALLY. IN FACT, OUR Y IS ONE OF THE FEW IN THE COUNTRY TO HAVE A FULLY OPERATIONAL INCLUSION AND ADAPTIVE SUPPORT SERVICES DEPARTMENT WITH THE OVERALL GOAL OF "CONNECTING ALL ABILITIES." IN 2024, WE SERVED 1,284 CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES THROUGH FITNESS, CAMPS, CHILDCARE, SWIMMING AND OTHER PROGRAMS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B WITH YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AS ONE OF THE Y'S CORE FOCUS AREAS, THE Y PROVIDES A PLACE WHERE YOUTH CAN COME TO CULTIVATE THE SKILLS AND RELATIONSHIPS THAT LEAD TO POSITIVE BEHAVIORS, BETTER HEALTH, AND LIFELONG SUCCESS - AND HAVE FUN DOING IT. THE Y DOES JUST THAT THROUGH ITS SUMMER CAMP PROGRAMS. IN 2024, THE Y'S DAY CAMP PROGRAM WELCOMED 6,440 CAMP PARTICIPANTS AND OVERNIGHT Y CAMP LAKEWOOD WELCOMED 1,609 YOUTH, ALLOWING YOUNG CAMPERS TO DISCOVER HIDDEN TALENT, GAIN SELF-ESTEEM AND ACQUIRE NEW SKILLS IN A SAFE AND FUN ENVIRONMENT. IN ADDITION, YMCA TROUT LODGE HAS LONG BEEN A DESTINATION FOR FAMILIES TO RECONNECT, CREATE NEW MEMORIES AND DISCOVER THE JOY OF EMBRACING THE SIMPLE PLEASURES OF NATURE. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C AS PART OF THE Y'S YOUTH DEVELOPMENT FOCUS, THE Y CLUB BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CHILDCARE PROGRAM IS HELD IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND ENGAGES STUDENTS IN PHYSICAL, LEARNING AND IMAGINATIVE ACTIVITIES THAT ENCOURAGE THEM TO EXPLORE WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY CAN ACHIEVE.
