Dear Members,

Congratulations to all of us as the Greater Morristown YMCA celebrates 150 years of service to the surrounding Morristown community. We can reflect with pride on the many accomplishments achieved that were made possible by our engaged members, active volunteers, loyal donors, supportive families, and dedicated staff. From exercise to education, from aerobics to advocacy, from fitness to financial assistance, the Y doesn't just strengthen our bodies, it strengthens our minds and our communities. The Y is so much more than a gym. It's a cause - a cause dedicated to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

Although we remain fiscally prudent and resourceful with our operations, we continue to be challenged by various external environmental factors, such as annual increases in minimum wage (50% increase since 2010 as mandated by the State of New Jersey), utility costs, and general supplies necessary to maintain the daily operation of our facility.

Since 2012, the Greater Morristown YMCA has been extremely fortunate to maintain our membership fees without any increases. However, after careful consideration, we have decided to implement a modest increase in membership fees beginning June 3, 2024. We have a history of being very sensitive regarding the affordability of our YMCA memberships, and even with our modest increase, we continue to offer some of the lowest membership rates in and around the surrounding area. These increases will allow us to remain a financially sound and sustainable non-profit organization, providing updated excellent facilities, innovative high-quality programs, and the latest and greatest equipment.

Below please find the monthly and annual membership rates effective June 3, 2024:

Thank you for your loyalty to our YMCA and your continued support.

Sincerely,

Laure Ferrando

President & CEO
