Heritage Club

Preserving the Heritage of the YMCA for Future Generations

The YMCA Heritage Club is comprised of individuals and families who believe strongly in the mission of the YMCA and help to preserve the good work of the YMCA through a direct gift or planned gift to the YMCA Endowment Fund. Gifts to the Endowment Fund may be made on behalf of the YMCA of the East Valley; one or more branches, or to support a specific program.

Each year, the YMCA of the East Valley hosts an annual dinner to which Heritage Club members are invited. The dinner is an opportunity for Heritage Club members to renew old friendships, meet new members, and to be updated on the good works of the YMCA and the status of its Endowment Fund.
