A Brighter Future
The Y is a proven leader with a demonstrated ability to help children reach their potential, lift-up families, bring diverse people together, and care for vulnerable populations.
Whether our community is working through a global pandemic and needs courageous educators to provide additional support for students, or our loved ones are struggling with chronic disease, the Y is here to take action.
A legacy gift is a meaningful way to make a difference, one that endures and enhances our community for generations. Please help us preserve the Y for generations to come.

Anita Braker & Dave Olsen
Committed to the future of our Y
Two local leaders with deep and long commitments to the Y, Cynthia Murphy and Dan Turner, first introduced my husband, Dave Olsen, and me to the wonderful workings of the Y by getting us involved in the Strong Kids Campaign. It immediately resonated with us, and led us to finding out more about the Y’s many great community programs. I volunteered to help with the Christmas Elves program. We attended the annual Y Classic event, and I soon joined the Board. Co-chairing the Classic for several years, standing with microphone and paddle in hand, close to the fire of that enthusiastic crowd, continues to be the thrill of a lifetime.
We were not here in the Valley during the initial Y capital campaign, but now we’re taking a new step into the future by committing to a Legacy Gift. The Y is well-run and fiscally solid. It provides a broad range of programs which address the needs of a diverse group of people from young ones, to teens, to seniors. We offer everything from day care, to swimming lessons, health and wellness programs, to workout facilities.
Dave and I are deeply committed to the Y’s mission and proud to play our part. We believe that what we’ve accumulated over our lifetimes should be shared with our community. Through a Legacy Gift we’re able to do that long after we’re able to actively participate. And that way, the pool our grandsons love will be there for their children.
Please join us!
