The Y is an important part of my life and I've found that it offers essential programs for many families in our community as well. During COVID, our Y offered discounted child care for essential workers. The Y has long been known for it's water safety programs and swim lessons. It's a safe, character-building place with preschool, after school care, and teen programs. It's a gathering place for seniors who might otherwise feel isolated.  It's the first place kids learn about sports and sportsmanship. It's community.

I've made my gift to the Y and invite you to join me. Every dollar raised in our community campaign goes to program scholarships for our neighbors who need a little help to take advantage of their programs and offer a brighter future for Scottsdale. 

Your gift will help young people achieve their potential, empower community members of all ages to lead healthier lives, and strengthen the bonds of our community by helping neighbors. Will you join me in giving a gift today? It would be an enormous help and encouragement. 

Thank you for considering a pledge or gift to the Scottsdale/Paradise Valley Family YMCAs 2022 annual community campaign.
