In recognition of its outstanding contributions to the community, the West Suburban YMCA has been awarded an impactful nonprofit grant as part of Watertown Savings Bank’s 25th Annual Customer Choice Awards. Awards were presented to the West Suburban YMCA and other prestigious nonprofits during a special ceremony held at the American Legion Post on April 9.
The Customer Choice Awards, an initiative by Watertown Savings Bank, aim to celebrate and support local nonprofit organizations that make a meaningful difference in the lives of community members. The recipients are selected through a voting process where community members have the opportunity to nominate their favorite nonprofit.

We are immensely grateful to the bank and community members for their support and recognition.”
