Last week, we hosted yet another Walk to End Racism and Day of Commitment to Eliminate Racism & Promote Diversity. The critical work YWCA does cannot be accomplished alone. With that said, we thank each and every one of you for believing in our mission and committing to our vision - especially our sponsors, without whom the Day of Commitment would not be possible: Excellus BCBS, KeyBank, Wegmans Food Markets, Bond, Schoeneck & King PLLC, Community Bank, N.A., Central New York Community Foundation, Visions Federal Credit Union, Local Union IBEW 43, Syracuse University, and the Hewitt family. Together, we can and we are making a difference. 🧡

We want to thank everyone who was a part of yet another successful Girls' Summit this past weekend! The goal of this event is to empower, educate, and challenge perceptions of girls and women in S.T.E.A.M. fields. So a huge thank you to all our partners, sponsors, workshop presenters, volunteers, and more who made this goal a reality. 🧡

The Walk to End Racism is a crucial step we can all take together towards eliminating racism. Just a reminder that the walk will take place tomorrow, April 23rd, beginning at 12:25 p.m. (check-in time) starting from the YWCA Main Office Building (401 Douglas Street) and concluding at City Hall (233 E. Washington Street). We hope to see you soon!

Earlier this month, some members of Profound came out to support our U13 boys! They made signs and then showed up to their game at CNY Family Sports Center, for which we are very appreciative. 💙
