First off, I want to thank you. Individuals in the Valley of the Sun - more than 120,000 - made the Y an important part of improving their lives this year, through childcare, 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 by helping our neighbors. Will you join me in giving a gift today? It would be an enormous help and encouragement to others. Thank you for your consideration of a pledge or gift to Scottsdale/Paradise Valley Family YMCAs 2023 annual support campaign.

My family have been Y members since our (now 15-year-old) daughter was a toddler; she learned water safety at 2 and how to swim in summer camps over the years. 

As working parents, the YMCA provided critical after school care and amazing summer camps. The Leader-In-Training program gave our daughter the skills and confidence to apply for and win part-time employment at our branch. We are so grateful for our YMCA!
