YMCA of Greater Omaha Breaks Ground on Project Game ON
The YMCA of Greater Omaha, Omaha Public Schools, and community partners officially broke ground on Project Game ON on Friday, October 24, marking a major milestone for North Omaha youth and families. The project will include a modern YMCA, a football stadium for North High, and community amenities designed to inspire healthy living, connection, and opportunity.
The groundbreaking brought together city and state officials, school leaders, YMCA staff, and philanthropic supporters to celebrate the next chapter in the Butler-Gast YMCA’s rich history of service to North Omaha.
“The atmosphere was electric,” said DeValon Whitcomb, YMCA Director. “Today is not about just breaking ground, it is about catapulting us forward as a community, understanding what the building was, what the building meant, and making sure we have a future that is sustainable for the community and the kids that come to the Y.”
