Y Honors is an opportunity to honor the outstanding achievements of individuals who have distinguished themselves as leaders in our community - not only bettering themselves and their organizations - but also making significant contributions to improving the quality of life in the Delaware Valley. Whether in service to the YMCA or through other local and national charitable organizations, these leaders demonstrate a tireless commitment to nurturing children, strengthening families, building strong communities and developing healthy spirits, minds and bodies for all.
This year's theme, Championing Our Youth, will highlight all the ways the Y can provide services from an early age all the way through young adulthood. We are here to improve the lives of the youth we serve and make important programs available to all through our Financial Assistance Program.
Championing our youth!

Christie Ileto joined the 6abc Action News team in the fall of 2015. She is an AP and Emmy Award winning journalist.
Before arriving in the City of Brotherly Love, Christie was a reporter for WJZ-TV in Baltimore, Maryland. There, she was one of the first journalists to extensively cover the arrest of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old who died from spinal injuries while in police custody. She was on the ground moments before riots broke out following his funeral. For 12-hours of live breaking news coverage, she gave Marylanders and the nation an up-close look at the unrest fueled by his death.Christie's coverage continued with city wide protests for police reform, the sweeping changes to police brass, and the undercurrent of violence that gripped the city in the months that followed.

Elkins and the interior was designed by French interior designers Allard et Fils, with beautiful frescoed ceilings, carved panels, marble columns, and breathtaking crystal chandeliers.
