On February 25, 2026 at 5:00 AM, Cindy and I will be participating in and enjoying some friendly competition with each other at the YMCA’s “Workout Wednesday” which directly supports the 2026 Annual Campaign. For one hour, I will be outworking her on an exercise machine (I have no excuses this year after her surgery) to raise support for the campaign. ALL of the money raised will stay in our Y community and directly support the youth and families that we serve.

I am passionate about this work. Each day I have the opportunity to see families participate in our programs that are only able to do so because when they come to the Y, we are able to remove the financial barriers and welcome them in. I would love your support in this effort! My goal is to raise at least $500 - and leave with my pride in tact as I raise more than Cindy. I will make it the whole hour - your donations spur me on. You can donate before, during or after the event. I will receive updates as the hour progresses.

Thank you for your donation! Because of your generous support, a child will learn how to swim, a family will enjoy a membership, a teen will have a safe place to go, someone battling cancer can join the LiveStrong class and so much more! Just this past summer, we served over 1,200 lunches over the summer to kids who would otherwise receive lunch from their school lunch program. We couldn’t do this work without you! Thank you
