Merry Christmas to our Y family, friends, and supporters!

The YMCA was founded on Christian principles in 1844 in London, England and then expanded to this country in 1851 to Boston and spread across the country and the world. Our Coastal Carolina YMCA was founded in 1983 and has impacted thousands of lives over the last 40 years. While Christian principles guide how the Y serves the underserved and cares for our communities across the world, we are not a religious organization. 

I have spent several decades working with YMCAs in Israel and Palestine in the Middle East, understanding how different cultures apply Christian principles through welcoming all faiths and backgrounds. This year has been especially difficult for families in that region, and I pray daily for peace for the people experiencing turmoil right now.  

As we prepare to celebrate Christmas and the birth of Jesus, we follow Christ’s teachings to love all neighbors and help those that do not share our exact beliefs. 

We listen.

We respond.

We help those in need.

We share.

We welcome all to be a part of the YMCA of Coastal Carolina.

We inspire hope and possibility for all. 

Thank you for your support, care, and love of the Y throughout 2023. We look forward to serving you and expanding our mission in 2024

Sincerely, 

David Byrd

Chief Executive (Encouragement) Officer
YMCA of Coastal Carolina

The annual Fore the Kids Fundraiser was held at TopGolf in Myrtle Beach to raise money to support the YMCA of Coastal Carolina’s Hope and Possibilities Fund. The Hope and Possibilities fund makes it possible for families in need to have access to all the YMCA offers to the community: swim lessons, youth sports, wellness, Afterschool, and more.

Our donors and sponsors make it possible. Together, we can teach more kids to swim, help more kids be a part of a team, support more in our community with chronic conditions, assist more to join the Y, and so much more by donating to the Hope and Possibilities Fund.

Thank you to our teams and sponsors!
