As many of you know, I am fortunate enough to be the Executive Director of the Scottsdale/Paradise Valley Family YMCA. Over the last four years this small city in the desert has become home. Many of the friendships I have I developed at this YMCA. That, is one reason I love it. The other is a lot more important. I love getting to help those in our community who need help. Kids. Teens. Adults. Families. Over 350 people benefit from financial assistance, and many of them have incredible stories. The only way they can participate in our amazing community is with your help. A gift of $5 helps. A gift of $500 helps. It makes little difference, as 100% of the money we raise goes back into our community. Please join me in helping those who could use a little boost at this time.
