Dear Michael, Richard, Mary, Flo, and Denise,

Thank you so much for supporting programming at the Auburn Valley YMCA. Your contributions will help vital services like the swim lesson program, which promote self-confidence and develop the whole person: spirit, mind and body.

When Caitlin first visited the Auburn Valley Aquatic Center, she was timid yet determined to make the swim team. “This is what I want to do,” she said. “This is my job, my goal, my dream.” Caitlin enrolled in swim lessons and worked with Rebekah, the aquatic director, to make her dream a reality. As time went on, her family noticed her confidence blossom. After six months, Caitlin made the team. More importantly, she had a new approach to life.

“Without the support of (the Auburn Valley YMCA),” exclaims Caitlin’s mom, “my daughter would not be where she is today.”

Thank you for giving children like Caitlin the opportunity to grow into caring and confident young adults.
