As a proud member of the South Bay YMCA board and a parent who has experienced firsthand the transformative power of the Y, I am reaching out to ask for your support. Our YMCA is more than just a community center; it’s a place where children grow, families connect, and lives are forever changed.

My wife, Kimberley, and I have seen this impact up close. Our children—Devin, Courntie, and Kevin—have all been a part of the Y community. From learning the fundamentals of sports to spending summers at camp, the Y has been a foundation for building confidence, teamwork, and resilience. I’ve watched my kids not only excel in sports, but develop values that will stay with them for life: the importance of hard work, respect, and supporting one another.

The South Bay YMCA is a special place, but we can’t do it alone. We need your help to continue providing these life-changing experiences. Your donation will help fund scholarships for families in need, ensure that our programs remain accessible to all, and support the creation of new opportunities for children and adults to grow, learn, and connect.

The Y isn’t just a place where kids learn to swim or play basketball. It’s a place where they build the confidence they need to face life’s challenges. It’s where friendships are made, where kids learn that they’re capable of more than they ever imagined. And most importantly, it’s where they realize that we’re all stronger together.

Please join me in supporting the South Bay YMCA. Your contribution, big or small, will make a direct impact on the lives of families in our community. Together, we can continue to make the Y a place where every child, every adult, and every family can thrive.

Thank you for your generosity, for helping to create memories that last a lifetime, and for making a difference in the lives of countless children and families that will echo for generations.

With gratitude,
Kevin Marshall
