LEMONT, Ill.—Feb. 25, 2022—The CITGO Lemont Refinery presented the Greater Joliet Area YMCA with a generous $7,500 donation at the Galowich Family YMCA on Houbolt Road in Joliet.

"We are so grateful for CITGO’s generous support of the Greater Joliet Area YMCA and our 2021 YMCA Gala," said Chief Executive Officer Katy Leclair. "CITGO has a long history of supporting initiatives in our community, and has been a wonderful partner of the Y for many, many years. We are humbled by CITGO's continued support of our mission and the communities we serve," added Leclair.
The Greater Joliet Area YMCA has been serving families from throughout Will County and its surrounding areas since 1926.
