The YMCA of Metro Atlanta held its 62nd Annual Good Friday Breakfast on April 18 at the Cobb Galleria Centre.
The non-denominational event brought together over 800 YMCA friends, members, volunteers and staff to celebrate the Y’s mission of building healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
Kevin Greiner, President and CEO of Gas South, was honored at this year’s breakfast as the recipient of the Bransby Christian Leadership Award, the YMCA’s highest recognition.
Named in honor of Joe Bransby, the award recognizes individuals who exemplify extraordinary leadership and service to the community. A longtime supporter of the YMCA, Greiner’s leadership and Gas South’s philanthropic generosity have made a profound impact on programs that serve individuals and families across metro Atlanta, according to a press release.
“Kevin has been a dedicated champion of the YMCA of Metro Atlanta for over a decade and served as chair of our Board in 2021 and 2022, where he further demonstrated his compassion and commitment to our community, said Lauren Koontz, president and CEO of the YMCA of Metro Atlanta. “His leadership, coupled with Gas South’s support of STEAM education, early learning and our adaptive swim program, serves as a powerful example of how community-driven efforts can create meaningful and lasting change.”
Gas South has contributed over $1.3 million in lifetime giving along with numerous hours of volunteer time and projects. Their partnership has been especially transformative for the Y’s Adaptive Swim program, which serves individuals with diverse abilities by promoting water safety, building confidence and fostering inclusion.
Gas South has also pledged continued support for 2025, enabling the YMCA to extend critical programs to even more communities across Metro Atlanta, the release said.
