Black Cherry Society

Black Cherry, long known for its strength and beauty throughout the Northwest Pennsylvania area, has provided a foundation for the growth of industry and travel in this area for many years. Towering gracefully on hillsides and along pathways, they embody the vitality and beauty of our area, as well as the mission of the YMCA.

The seeds of the Black Cherry take root, growing stately and strong. The seeds planted by the Black Cherry Society members, through their generous bequests and gifts, assure that the Bradford Family YMCA will continue to flourish and grow in the years to come.

Just as the trees are uniquely significant, so are the individuals who become part of the Black Cherry Society of the Bradford Family YMCA. These individuals form the firm foundation for the work of the YMCA throughout our area due to their investment in the YMCA through their gift to the YMCA Endowment Fund.

Individuals who make a cash gift ($1,000 minimum) to the YMCA Endowment Fund or provide for the YMCA through their estate planning will be recognized as members of the Black Cherry Society.
