The YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee is about to kick off their 25th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration
Brhett is in New Berlin where the YMCA is producing this year’s event in a virtual-only format with a little help from the team at Exciting Events, LLC.
The Y has closely observed the COVID trends in Milwaukee and around the U.S. With the steep increase in cases and its impact on workers and the public, Y leaders, after meeting with our health care partners, have chosen to hold the 25th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration in virtual-only format.
We appreciate your understanding of the rationale behind our decision and want you to know that we truly wanted to gather in person. Hopefully, all willing, we will do so next year.
