First off, I want to thank you. Through this campaign, we are working to ensure a brighter future for the Valley of the Sun. Your support will help young people achieve their potential, empower community members of all ages to lead healthier lives, and strengthen the bonds of the families in our neighborhood.

Some of the YMCA programs that really warm my heart are around Teen activity centers that are safe places for youths after school. The Maryville location has a GED program and helps young adults obtain employment. In addition the Downtown Y has a transitional housing and work placement service for individuals ages 18-24 that are homeless. There are other programs that assist in water safety and childcare across the communities. The number of individuals the YMCA impacts every year is truly amazing.

Please join me in giving today through the Y to support these families. It would be an enormous help and encouragement to others.

Thank you!
