WATCH THOMAS BRYANT’S STORY OF IMPACT
“Growing up in Rochester, I spent countless hours at the Y playing basketball with my friends—it was more than just a gym; it was a place where we could have fun, learn, and push ourselves to be better. The Y gave us a sense of community and a space to grow, both on and off the court. I hope today’s kids see that same opportunity and know they can achieve anything they set their minds to with hard work, dedication, and the right support.” — Thomas Bryant, NBA Champion, former YMCA of Greater Rochester member
