Pennington Day Stands behind YMCA with construction plans

The Pennington Day Board gave a $5,000 grant to the Hopewell Valley YMCA capital building fund on Dec. 5 after inviting representatives from the YMCA to present an update on the YMCA’s plans and activities-to-date involving their contract to purchase a 13-acre tract of land from Capital Health on Route 31.

The YMCA announced the selection of its design firm, Clarke Caton Hintz and construction management firm, Epic Management, Inc. The YMCA has established an advisory committee to provide local guidance to its volunteer Board of Trustees in pursuing the development of a full-service facility in Pennington.

Pennington Day is an annual event held each May, providing family-centered fun and activities for Hopewell Valley. The organization raises funding for local organizations and projects and is the first organization to step forward and support the development of the YMCA.

The Y is committed to providing programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. We make every effort to ensure that no one is turned away due to inability to pay. Click to read more about our financial assistance.
