Looking for a
Gift for That "Person Who Has Everything"?
If you are
having a difficult time coming up with a gift for the
friend who has "everything"--or if you are celebrating
an occasion with a family member, no gifts are
requested and you want to do a little something--consider making
a donation to the Y Scholarship Fund in the
recipient's name! It's a thoughtful gift that helps
others.
The Y will provide
a certificate with the recipient's name and the amount of the
donation. For more information, please contact our
