YMCA

This is a ceremonial Senate Resolution (SR 1764), not a bill with policy changes. It honors the YMCA for its 175th anniversary in the U.S. (founded 1851) and recognizes its historical community service, including founding Father's Day, pioneering childcare, inventing basketball, and providing pandemic support. The resolution expresses the Florida Senate's appreciation for the YMCA's mission to build healthy communities, welcoming spaces, and programs serving over 17 million people annually. It has no legal effect or new funding; it is purely a symbolic gesture of recognition.
