Dear Family & Friends,

Most of my friends know I absolutely LUV to run. But you probably don’t know when I first started running, I couldn’t run a mile. My first race was a 2-mile event sponsored by the YMCA. This led me to complete numerous half marathons and two full marathons. Running has changed my life, and I firmly believe it can change the lives of others too.

With that being said, I'm excited to share that I've joined the Board of Directors for the Republic Bank Foundation YMCA (an organization that has been transformative in my life). I am committed to supporting the YMCA’s mission to provide programs and services that enrich our communities. It's fundraising time for our annual campaign, and I’m reaching out for your support.

Unfortunately, yet understandably, some in our community need support to start their fitness journey. A YMCA membership can offer that chance. The monthly fee for a Family Membership at the YMCA is only $97. Hence, I’m asking you to consider donating at least $100 to fund a family membership.

It would be greatly appreciated and help us make a difference!

Thank you for your consideration,

Stacy Cohen
