Celebrating the 175th anniversary of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA).

This resolution would mark the YMCA's 175th anniversary and honor its role in building community ties and promoting well-being. It recognizes the Y's history from its 1851 founding to innovations like inventing basketball, starting night schools and English classes, and leading youth, childcare, and emergency services. The resolution would commend roughly 300,000 staff and 350,000 volunteers at about 2,600 locations that serve over 17 million people annually and would encourage continued support for places that reduce social isolation and help people connect.
