Westchester Talk Radio

Westchester Talk Radio host Bob Marrone spoke with Lisa Teddone, the YMCA’s Chief Financial Officer. Lisa, whose own children learned to swim at the Y in the late 1990s, described how a combination of Westchester County legislative funding, city partnerships, and federal grants, including an educational grant from Congressman Jamaal Bowman, allowed for critical upgrades to the gym and pool. She passionately advocates for the Y's "deep end" philosophy, teaching children confidence and serious life skills through their high-level aquatics programs.
