Here at PPM Works, we are as devoted to our work as we are to contributing to our community. When it comes to giving back and giving to charities, we are vigilant in making the right choices and paying our dues to group that put our contributions to work. For the third year in a row, we are proud to support our neighborhood YMCA for Tony Rich’s Indoor Ironman World Record Attempt.

Support Iron Tony as he attempts to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest Indoor Ironman finish so that ALL members of our community, NO MATTER their physical ability, age, background, or financial means, have ACCESS to life- changing health and wellness programs at the Oak Square YMCA.

All proceeds of this event will directly benefit program and membership scholarships for individuals with disabilities involved in recreation and wellness programs, adults recovering from cancer treatment, and seniors participating adaptive yoga and Aqua-Arthritis programing.

The Oak Square YMCA is excited to offer your business a chance to support community wellness for all by joining our Iron Tony Indoor Ironman team.

The Oak Square YMCA is largest YMCA in the City of Boston.  We serve over 11,000 adults and children from Boston, Watertown, Brookline, and Newton community each year.  Our facility was designed with a focus on serving people with disabilities and ensuring that all of our amenities (pools, fitness centers, locker rooms, etc.) exceed the standards set forth by the American Disability Act.

Our YMCA offers a variety of programs which aid in recovery and rehabilitation including Aqua Arthritis and Gentle Yoga, our medically-based cancer survivorship program, LiveSTRONG at the YMCA, and our signature adaptive wellness initiative, the Partnership Program, that serves individuals who need specialized, adaptive exercise equipment and/or one-on-one assistance to exercise.

In 2015, the Oak Square YMCA awarded over $350,000 of financial assistance to allow families and adult in need to receive subsidized membership to our universally-accessible building and participate in our live-changing healthy living and youth development programs. Our Iron Tony Indoor Ironman event raises funds to support subsidized YMCA memberships for individuals with disabilities, adults recovering from cancer treatment, and adaptive wellness programming.
