Armed Services YMCA Awards

Each year, the Armed Services YMCA presents a number of awards to individuals and organizations whose efforts best exemplify the ASYMCA mission of enriching the quality of life of military personnel and their families.

• ASYMCA’s Annual Student Art and Essay Contest asks children (grades 1-12) of active duty or retired military personnel to submit artwork that best illustrates their military families, or essays about they are proud of their military families.

• ASYMCA honors military men and women who administer life-saving medical treatment to our troops on the front lines at the Annual Angels of the Battlefield Gala.

• ASYMCA presents Raytheon-sponsored Community YMCA Awards to outstanding YMCAs across the country that serve military families in need.
