TOPEKA, KS (August 28, 2024) — On Tuesday, August 27, 2024, the Shawnee County District Court granted CoreFirst Bank and Trust declaratory judgment to sell the facilities at 3635 SW Chelsea Drive to the YMCA of Topeka. The decision is one step toward acquiring the building. It will take some time to work through all necessary steps before closing. In the interim, the YMCA of Topeka will continue normal operations, services, and programs to support our community.
Become a Sponsor
Help make a difference.
Sponsoring the Y plays a pivotal role in nurturing the potential of every child and teen in the community. The YMCA’s commitment to providing accessible programs and opportunities is a cornerstone of its mission, fostering a nurturing environment where young people can learn essential life skills, develop healthy habits, and build character. Contributions to your Y help us to offer a wide range of activities and services, including summer camps, youth sports, and educational programs, which are often some of the first experiences that instill the values of teamwork, discipline, and respect. These programs serve as a foundation for future success, offering youth the chance to explore their interests and talents in a supportive setting.
Moreover, the financial support from sponsors ensures that these opportunities are not limited by socioeconomic status. Contributions help subsidize costs, making it possible for families facing financial challenges to afford these vital services. This inclusivity is crucial, as it provides a safe and constructive alternative for childcare, especially during out-of-school times when parents may be at work. By supporting the YMCA, sponsors directly impact the lives of children who might otherwise miss out on life-enriching experiences, helping to level the playing field and create a more equitable community where every child has the chance to thrive and grow.
