LiveSTRONG® at the YMCA is a supportive well-being initiative for cancer survivors.

Union, NJ, August 22, 2026 --(PR.com)-- The Gateway Family YMCA announced that it received a $5,000 grant to support LiveSTRONG® at the YMCA, a program designed to offer those who have been diagnosed with cancer the support they need to build both physical and emotional strength.

Registration is available for an upcoming Fall session of the LiveSTRONG® at the YMCA program, held at The Gateway Family YMCA in Union, NJ. Interested participants can contact Susan Butler, Senior Director of Community Wellness at 908-349-9622 or livestrong@tgfymca.org to register or to express interest in a future program.

As part of LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA, the Y engages cancer survivors through an approach that focuses on the whole person. Participants work with specially trained staff to build muscle mass and strength, increase flexibility and endurance, and improve functional ability. In addition to physical benefits, the program also focuses on the emotional well-being of survivors by providing a supportive community environment where people affected by cancer can connect during treatment and beyond.

The Gateway Family YMCA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, health and community service organization of caring staff and volunteers dedicated to strengthening community and stands For Youth Development, For Healthy Living and For Social Responsibility. Serving the community since 1900, The Gateway Family YMCA provides programs and services throughout Eastern Union County and Northern Middlesex County through six YMCA branches in Elizabeth, Rahway and Union.
