ONE Y. ONE DAY. ONE BALLPARK.
For 170 years, the Y has been moving communities forward, teaching this city to swim, to lead, to belong. On September 14, all of it shows up in one place. The coaches. The campers. The swimmers. The ForeverWell walking clubs. The volunteers. The families.
For one game, the YMCA of the North is the presenting partner of Takeover Day at Target Field, and we're filling the stands with wellbeing, hope, and belonging.
It's the biggest Y gathering of the year.
What moves you? On September 14, it moves all of us to Target Field.
