As my fourth-year serving on the YMCA Board of Directors, I have witnessed the Y grow and achieve goals year to year. When deciding where I wanted to go to college, one of the main factors for choosing UW was because I wanted to stay involved in the Y and continue to give back to my home community and the next generation of youth. One of my priorities on the board is contributing to the Invest In Youth fundraiser every year.
If it weren't for the Y and "The Muk" skatepark, I would have never had the desire or opportunity to travel and tour the west coast for skateboard competitions and have a safe place to skate/workout as a child. My parents were skeptical of me skateboarding at first, but their worries diminished because the Y greatly enforced responsibility and safety first. I volunteered over 100 hours a couple summers ago teaching kids the fundamentals of skateboarding, which was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had.
I’m asking you to support the Mukilteo Y’s annual campaign and help us reach our goal of $206,000. I hope you will be able to make a contribution, regardless of size (every donation makes a difference). Thank you in advance for your support!
