First off, I want to thank you for considering giving to the YMCA annual campaign.  Over the years I have been involved with various aspects of the YMCA and truly appreciate all the Y does for our community. I recently joined the Metro YMCA as a Board Member which now allows me to volunteer my time to a wonderful organization.  Individuals in the Valley of the Sun - more than 120,000 - made the Y an important part of improving their lives this year, through child care, exercise, social programs, teen development and family services that help us learn, grow and thrive. Through this campaign we are working to ensure a brighter future for the Valley of the Sun. Together we will take some major challenges in our community. Your gift will help young people achieve their potential, empower community members of all ages to lead healthier lives, and strengthen the bonds of the community in Metropolitan Phoenix by helping our neighbors. Will you join me in giving a gift today between $100 and $1,000? It would be an enormous help and encouragement to others. Thank you for your consideration of a pledge or gift to the Valley of the Sun YMCAs 2021 annual support campaign.
