Dear Family & Friends,

Most of you know how much I absolutely love to run. However, what you might not know is that when I first started, I couldn’t even run a mile. My journey began with a 2-mile race sponsored by the YMCA, and from there, I went on to complete numerous half marathons and two full marathons. Running has truly transformed my life, and I wholeheartedly believe it can change the lives of others as well.

I am thrilled to share that I now have the honor of chairing the Board of Directors for the Republic Bank Foundation YMCA—an organization that has been pivotal in my own journey. I am deeply committed to supporting the YMCA’s mission to provide programs and services that enrich our communities. As we approach our annual campaign for the YMCA of Greater Louisville on May 31, 2026, I am reaching out for your support.

Unfortunately, many individuals in our community need assistance to embark on their fitness journeys. A YMCA membership can provide that vital opportunity. The monthly fee for a Family Membership at the YMCA is only $97. Therefore, I kindly ask you to consider donating at least $100 to help fund a family membership. Your generosity would be immensely appreciated and would make a significant difference in someone’s life!

Thank you for your consideration.

Warm regards,

Stacy Cohen
