In 2009, the Board of Directors of the Cannon Street YMCA and the Berkeley County YMCA considered the possibility of a merger between the two organizations as a means of furthering the financial stability of both organizations. In 2012 this merger became official under the charter of the Cannon Street YMCA and as a result formed the YMCA of Greater Charleston which now serves the Tri-County area of Berkeley, Dorchester, and Charleston counties.
