ROCKFORD, Oct. 27 — The YMCA of Rock River Valley has announced a future opening of a new location in Cherry Valley that was made possible by a gracious donation from Mr. Sunil Puri and his partner Dan Arnold. The pair donated a 15,500 square foot building valued at $2.25 million.

The Puri Family YMCA will be located at 1475 South Perryville Road, Cherry Valley. This facility will offer many of the same amenities everyone loves at existing locations, including programs focused on healthy living, youth development and social responsibility.
