Esports Tournament

The Greater Johnstown Community YMCA is collaborating on an Esports Tournament with The Esports Company as part of the TEC CON coming to Johnstown this summer! The TEC CON will be a three day experience during July 15th, 16th, and 17th. Not only will this be a community impacting event it will also be a fundraiser for the YMCA. This will allow us to increase our ability to focus on youth development, social responsibility and healthy living for all by providing scholarships for programs and membership.

Wine & Bourbon Auction

The YMCA has partnered with the Community Foundation of the Alleghenies to bring back the Wine & Bourbon Auction on April 1, 2022! This event is a significant fundraiser for the YMCA and perhaps even more so this year as the last two years have been cancelled due to Covid. If you or your business would like to donate an item for the silent auction (i.e. restaurant gift certificates, bed & breakfast accommodations, jewelry or other items) please contact Gwen Michaux at the Y at 814.591.4264! We appreciate your support!
