MEMBERSHIP
SHARE YOUR Y STORY for a chance to win two tickets to Cirque du Soleil on November 14!

It's your Y, so tell us your story! Every day at the Y, members like you inspire us with the remarkable things you are doing to grow stronger in spirit, mind, and body - and we want the rest of the world to know about it!

The YMCA of Virginia's Blue Ridge is currently looking for members willing to share their YMCA success stories. Don't think you have a story to tell? Think again. No story is too insignificant if it inspires just one person to follow the same path to better health and well-being.

Follow the link below to share your story between November 1 - 10. We will randomly select one winner on November 11.
Turkey Blast
App Challenge  

Get ready for all that turkey you'll be eating by participating in our
virtual 10K. Complete 6.2 miles during the challenge and log them on the app for a chance to win a prize!
