GAME CHANGER OF THE YEAR
The winner of the 2019 Game Changer Award is Lake County YMCA.
The Lake County YMCA truly deserves the title of Game Changer for its construction of a new West End YMCA branch and how this building fits into a major development project in the city of Willoughby.
Recently the Lake County YMCA celebrated the opening of its new West End Y, which became part of the new Union Village in Willoughby. This development is comprised of the West End YMCA, the new David E. Anderson Senior Center — named for Willoughby’s former mayor — and the new South High School and Willoughby Middle School.
It’s also noteworthy that the Lake County YMCA launched a major capital campaign to build the new West End Y and create a stronger and healthier community for generations.
