Van Bramer Throws First Pitch at Long Island City YMCA Youth League

 

Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer kicked off the first day of the Long Island City YMCA Youth League season at Queensbridge Park. Van Bramer spoke about the importance of kids participating in athletic, educational, and cultural programs that the YMCA provides. Van Bramer has allocated over $100,000 in funding over the past two years, including over 50K in the budget adopted this June for the coming year for these programs.

“It has always been one of my top priorities to make sure our youth have a nurturing environment within the community, encouraging valuable lessons, including teamwork, and the importance of physical fitness. The YMCA Youth League provides young people with this opportunity,” said Council Member Van Bramer.
