As most of you know, I have been very involved with the North YMCA for 25+ years. Not only have I served on the Board for most of those years, but I have also helped raise lots of funds to support the programs and services that our YMCA provides to Forest Park Community. Children, youth, teens, older adults and others all benefit from the funds raised to make these programs and services top notch and accessible to all.

I will be sending out an email with a link to a great "Cause Driven Commercial" that highlights many of the great programs and services provided by the North YMCA and the Central Ohio YMCA.

I have volunteered 3 days a week, teaching a Boot Camp Class at 6:00 AM.

The most fun I have is playing Santa Claus at Breakfast with Santa; but I also play Spiderman at some events as well as being the Easter Bunny (see photos in the gallery).

I like to call and Annual Giving Campaign "PHP" - People Helping People.

Thanks for your past support of me and my YMCA; and, thanks in advance for any support that you can provide towards the 2024 Annual Giving Campaign.
