After moving to Arizona about 6 years ago, the family was looking to be involved in their community and to have a place for family recreation. Upon their relationship with the Northwest Y, they fell on some financial hardships and had to cancel their membership for a brief amount of time until they heard about our Financial assistance program.
Joe, Heather, Seth, Emma-Claire, and William were approved for a scholarship to help the membership costs fit within their budget. The family has expressed their thanks to the YMCA with their involvement in volunteerism and attendance at our family events.
Joe Oliver, also known as "Coach Oliver," spends many evenings here at the Y coaching Basketball and Volleyball for our youth teams.
“I cannot financially make a difference at the YMCA, but I can make a difference with my time,” said Joe when he was asked about his journey here at the Y. We appreciate Joe and his family for being involved members with our Y and for living our cause!
