THE VALLEY OF THE SUN YMCA’S IMPACT IS FELT EVERY DAY ACROSS ARIZONA.

At the Y, strengthening our community is our cause. Every day, we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

Our impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child, and when a community comes together for the common good. We help youth, adults, and families from all walks of life reach their goals and contribute to solutions that improve communities. We believe that goodness truly begins here at Valley of the Sun YMCA.

In 2017 we completed our full-time move to Arizona, and I embraced the opportunity to join the DFFY Advisory Board.
The Y has been a part of my life since my teenage years growing up in Dayton, Ohio, through our family years in St. Louis, Missouri, and now in our empty-nester years in Cave Creek. The YMCA is a great place that supports all members of our community from children through seniors.
