YMCA Camp Grady Spruce, part of the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas, celebrated the first phase of a $10.2 million renovation with eight brand-new cabins, a renovated Dining Hall on the Ray Bean side, and a new Welcome Center planned, expanding cabin capacity from 144 to 256 beds. The YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas also notes that its Summer Learning Academy took place in three school districts and that thousands of children received backpacks, supplies, haircuts, exams, and more at YMCA back-to-school fairs. In partnership with the City of Waxahachie and Ellis County, Texas, the YMCA broke ground on the Cindy Hess Memorial Park, which will feature a pavilion, walking trail, sports fields, outdoor fitness areas, and more next to the Waxahachie Family YMCA.
One parent, Mayela, shared that during a divorce and transition to one income, the YMCA provided a scholarship for her son to play baseball. Another participant, Shirley from the Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program, reported that staff support at the YMCA led to a change in her blood pressure medication after discovering her blood pressure was in the danger zone.
