All of us in the Onderdonk family were raised at the Charles River YMCA; all three of us children worked there at some point. It is where we learned to swim and spent summers. It was a cause really important to my mother, Jill Onderdonk, and I hope her legacy lives on through its amazing programs and commitment to the community. 

I joined the board of the Y because I want to continue the tradition of being involved with important local causes. I've created this page because I want to make a difference and let people know how much hard work the YMCA has done, especially in these trying times. The Y has been an integral part of caring for frontline workers and their families and helping keep our community members active and engaged.

Please help me by giving whatever you can using the 'Donate' button. The more people that know about how much the Y has done the better, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance to all for your generosity, it means a lot! I know Mom would be proud.
