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.

You know I have been involved at the YMCA since 2012. From helping with the sports program, summer camps for the youth, coaching sports teams and now being a part of the board, I have enjoyed the personal and professional growth I have achieved with the YMCA!

I have seen the work of the campaign dollars and how they make an impact on the community. 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 the Ahwatukee Foothills Family YMCAs 2023 annual support campaign.
