Dannemora Federal Credit Union (DFCU) is excited to announce a $350,000 donation supporting the Plattsburgh YMCA renovation project of CVPH Wellness Center on New York Road into a state-of the-art health and wellness facility.

CEO of the Plattsburgh YMCA, Justin Ihne, said of the announcement, “We are immensely grateful that Dannemora FCU is providing this significant gift to the New YMCA project. This meaningful level of support shows a commitment to not only the YMCA, but to our shared North Country communities.”

Dannemora FCU President and CEO Chris Hay said, “We are honored to continue our commitment to the community by partnering with the Plattsburgh YMCA. The Y provides countless opportunities for families across Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties; whether it’s through sport offerings, the childcare and after school programing, summer camps or general fitness programming. This is a transformative project for our region, and I can’t wait to see how the Y can grow with this new facility!”

The New Plattsburgh YMCA on New York Road plans include fitness center, child watch areas, studios and meeting/conference rooms just to name a few. The YMCA’s strong history in our community will only lead to brighter futures for the North County. Both DFCU and YMCA live the motto of “Small enough to know you. Large enough to serve you”.

“The YMCA is a critical part of our community for all ages. The YMCA is something that will greatly impact our current and future generations and we are so proud to be able to donate to their legacy and watch them flourish in their new location! This is going to be an amazing chapter for their team and everyone who helped make this possible,” Business Development Manager Anna Hewitt-Channell said.

We are so excited to watch this project unfold, and we cannot wait to see the benefits and positive impact this has on our community!
