Crowing Moment!

I had the opportunity to attend the Monster 5K Dash on behalf of the Southern Boone Area YMCA. This was my very first event with their team, and such a meaningful one. The morning was full of energy, excitement, and community spirit. From cheering on runners to carving pumpkins with kids, every moment reminded me why local YMCAs play such an important role in youth development.

I had the opportunity to speak with several event sponsors who support the Southern Boone Area YMCA throughout the year. Hearing their reasons for investing in youth programming was inspiring. Their commitment helps create opportunities for local kids to stay active, feel supported, and be part of a strong community.

I look forward to partnering with them again and continuing to support programs that keep kids active, connected, and confident.
