Thank You Y Ambassadors!
Annual Campaign Updates
| | |
We'd like to say a huge thank you to our Y Ambassadors who are volunteering their time to share their Y stories and raise awareness about our Annual Campaign efforts! They are spreading the word about how the Y makes a difference in our community through providing financial assistance. The generous support we receive from donors allows us to offer income-based rates for membership and programs, including swim lessons, youth sports, health and wellness, camp and childcare! You, too, can make an impact by giving back to our cause. Click here to make a donation today!
