More than two hundred community members will join Senator Daylin Leach and other local officials in welcoming the new YMCA to the community.

The Haverford High School Band and Haverford Middle School Choir will provide entertainment and assist Y members, donors, volunteers and staff in celebrating the new YMCA. A special presentation of free Y memberships will be made in honor of the Philadelphia Freedom Valley YMCA’s 7th Grade Membership Initiative.

The new Y includes a 13,000 square-foot wellness center, a double gymnasium, group exercise studios, youth activity center, aquatic center including a family fun pool, a 6 lane lap pool, sauna and whirlpool.
