Honoring 95 Years of Service in Kenosha

As the YMCA celebrates 95 years of service, the Annual Luncheon continues a cherished tradition of recognizing those who make Kenosha a better place to live, work, and grow. The prestigious Nash Awards, named after community leader Charles Nash, pay tribute to outstanding contributions in three key categories: Employee, Volunteer, and Business Partner.
