Inspired Giving | Fall 2022

October, 2022

Dear Friends,

As this Fall issue of Inspired Giving reaches your inbox, we are celebrating the end of a successful and memorable summer, shared among friends, neighbours and partners.

This Thanksgiving, we celebrated what we’re most grateful for this year – YOU!

Because of your continued support and for your contribution to the Y, you are what helps make the Y a welcoming and safe community for so many in their times of need.

With appreciation,

Marianne Long
Manager, Philanthropy & Community Outreach
