As you may know, I am serving on the Ross Farnsworth East Valley Family YMCA advisory board. This is an organization I feel very passionate about. At the Ross Farnsworth-East Valley Family YMCA, we believe that no one should be turned away for their inability to pay. We keep that promise by raising money each year to ensure that everyone, despite their financial situation, has access to the amazing programs that the YMCA has to offer. Every dollar raised goes right back into strengthening families in our community.

Last year, we raised over $96,000. With that support, the Ross Farnworth-East Valley YMCA was able to provide:

• 75 kids with a safe place to develop and thrive.

• 363 kids and adults with lifesaving skills through free safety water education.

• 1,317 youth with access to quality sports programming.

• 471 adults and families with financial assistance and a place of belonging.

This year we are trying to raise $100,000 so that we can continue supporting kids and families in our community. Please join me in this worthwhile cause by donating to our annual campaign.

Thanking you in advance for your support.
