The DeVos-Blum YMCA is more than a place to work out—it’s a place where community is built.

After living in the area for more than 20 years, I first came to the Y to try a fitness class as a one-time visit. What I found was a welcoming community and a place where adults can connect through fitness, young people can grow through sports and other programs, and families can feel like they belong.

That’s why I’m proud to serve on the YMCA’s board and support its Annual Giving Campaign. Every dollar donated goes directly to programs, including scholarships that help local families participate when cost might otherwise stand in their way.

My goal is to raise $1,000. Whether you give $10, $25, $50, or more, every donation matters—and together, our gifts can help ensure that more members of our community have access to the opportunities, support, and sense of belonging the Y provides.

Please consider making a gift and helping me reach my goal. Thank you for investing in our community!
