Donations helping Foothills Area YMCA grow its Future

Last Friday night, June 8, the Foothills Area YMCA hosted Growing Our Future at the Lighthouse Event Center. Attendees were treated to dinner, live and silent auctions, designer container garden competitions, music and more, tells Foothills Area YMCA CEO Christle Ross. “We had a wonderful event at Growing Our Future for the YMCA. We raised around $38,000; we’re actually kind of figuring all that right now trying to get our totals in and make sure we covered all of our expenses, but it was a very positive night for the YMCA. We’re really excited about the amount of money and the energy in the community especially as we look forward to doing our full facility. So, it was a wonderful event. We just thank everyone that participated, our donors, people who bought things and everyone that came out and joined us that night.” Funds raised from the Growing Our Future event will support Summer Camp and After School Care participants who can’t afford regular program fees.
