Who am I:

Hey guys! My name is Dane Needham and I am a senior at La Salle High School. I was born and raised here in Yakima, Washington. I have participated in two sports who have built me as a person: football and rugby. I have been granted with the opportunity to play rugby for Grand Canyon University. Rugby is the sport that has helped me the most grow as a person and become more confident. I have been working  for YMCA Rotary Aquatic Center over 2 years as a certified lifeguard. My family and I have been involved in Wags to Riches since I was very young. We have fostered 28 dogs over the years and keep them until they can find a forever home. I have also volunteered for several church events at Four Square Church. My family and I are also very involved with the YMCA. We built and installed new CrossFit equipment there and helped out at a couple kids classes. I enjoy helping others and I am happy I am able to help in this way!

What I am doing:

I am raising money for The Memorial Foundations YouthWorks program because I care about serving and helping others in my community. The YouthWorks program gives so much to others, so it’s my turn to give to them.
