This is the first video in our #CollaborationWednesday series! Each week, we will talk to Central Jersey Shore nonprofits and learn how they are partnering to make a bigger impact in our community during COVID-19. This week, we talked to our partners and friends, Laurie Goganzer, President & CEO of the [YMCA of Greater Monmouth County](https://business.facebook.com/ymcaGMC/?business_id=2107584289255830&__tn__=K-R&eid=ARC1XNedOC07SxggB45jheRrth7IKAEJKfoj_0LHdeasnvbHEcHay2L58JrDzcbGhWrNukAgLShRqDU4&fref=mentions&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARBbvxfprSwbmWMaywvjZvlbOyg1--HGQBHV_0Rsb_PKaGDTfxU7pzzUaHecAaSKpt0GnasgTkvKXCaAfU7vvXWMdkcMCf832kF_37F4i1IAQWAenmdjPbWACNe9HbXjD8D-_1WlAeUZkAIrJrwbbwDRDnkflnVJKjcdC9W1GLuNLhZErPDRnSnVXeK2Bg3mGRvUBWfsh1fUv4GeXeysNbswzB1My42hlJE3LdlNXEaflcgaKtw6Q9qGowtkiL1VuKZU78lYyIxsLy9z0CVkhOh9YQ2he26L6VJauFghnTE43hfuTzjSy3LAUJ0X8P9F9JLjRNqAOYzuv5SVQSEgA1qcSoBYgDZPlnWDRgRY), and Peter T.

Jeremy, Laurie and Pete had a great discussion on collaborating, how to navigate partnerships for greater impact, and what our YMCAs are doing together (and with others in the community) to help those who need it most.
Times are difficult right now, but this video is uplifting and hopeful. THANK YOU, Pete and Laurie for being our first [#CollaborationWednesday](https://business.facebook.com/hashtag/collaborationwednesday?source=feed_text&epa=HASHTAG&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARBbvxfprSwbmWMaywvjZvlbOyg1--HGQBHV_0Rsb_PKaGDTfxU7pzzUaHecAaSKpt0GnasgTkvKXCaAfU7vvXWMdkcMCf832kF_37F4i1IAQWAenmdjPbWACNe9HbXjD8D-_1WlAeUZkAIrJrwbbwDRDnkflnVJKjcdC9W1GLuNLhZErPDRnSnVXeK2Bg3mGRvUBWfsh1fUv4GeXeysNbswzB1My42hlJE3LdlNXEaflcgaKtw6Q9qGowtkiL1VuKZU78lYyIxsLy9z0CVkhOh9YQ2he26L6VJauFghnTE43hfuTzjSy3LAUJ0X8P9F9JLjRNqAOYzuv5SVQSEgA1qcSoBYgDZPlnWDRgRY&__tn__=%2ANK-R) guests.
