Together, we are transforming lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

YMCA of Florida\u2019s First Coast recognizes its staff, volunteers and community partners annually at the Y-Bash, an event celebrating their community impact through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. At this year\u2019s event, the Y announced its funding priorities for the following year and its goal to raise $1.66 million. This year\u2019s four funding priorities include:<\/p>\n

Funding these priorities and the dedication of community partners such as Florida Blue helps the Y build a strong, supportive foundation for the communities it serves. Past recipients of the E.
