The Kenosha YMCA invites the community to celebrate service, leadership, and impact at its Annual Luncheon on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. at the UW-Parkside Ballroom. This inspiring event marks the start of the Y’s Annual Campaign and brings together hundreds of community members, volunteers, and supporters dedicated to strengthening the community.
Presented by First American Bank, the Annual Luncheon honors individuals and organizations that exemplify the YMCA’s mission of youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.
Celebrating 95 years of service in Kenosha, the YMCA’s annual awards pay tribute to its founders and recognize those who continue their legacy of community commitment and compassion. The prestigious Nash Awards, named for Charles Nash, honor individuals and partners who have made outstanding contributions in three categories: Employee, Volunteer, and Business Partner.
“I am grateful to our volunteers and donors who believe in our mission,” said Cindy Altergott, CEO of the Kenosha YMCA. “They help the Y accomplish so much in our community. The energy that the Annual Campaign generates is amazing, and I am excited to reach our goal of $100,000.”
