We are thrilled to receive a Boston Marathon invitational bib from the City of Newton for one runner to train for the 2022 Boston Marathon while raising funds for the West Suburban YMCA. 

We’re thrilled to announce that Charlie Schmidt will be running the 127th Boston Marathon on behalf of the West Suburban YMCA. Charlie was inspired by our runner last spring and expressed his interest then. Charlie attended and worked at the Y’s resident Camp Frank A. Day (CFAD) for 9 years, and now serves as the co-chair of our CFAD Capital Campaign Committee. It felt like the stars were aligned when we received our bib from the City and were able to say yes!
