Congratulations to our 2024 John D. Crummey Red Triangle Award Honoree, Kathy Riggins! 🥳 After an impactful career with the YMCA, Kathy Riggins retired in 2016 as CEO of the YMCA of Silicon Valley. She often said, "It takes a team of visionary volunteers and exceptional staff to accomplish our dreams!" True to her words, Kathy immediately became an exemplary volunteer. She has since raised $750,000 for the Y's Community Campaign and now serves as Co-Chair of the $75 million campaign to build a new YMCA in Redwood City. Additionally, she is tri-chairing a multi-million-dollar effort to renovate the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA in Encinitas, where her YMCA journey first began. 🫶 Learn more about the Red Triangle Dinner here 🔗⮑ https://lnkd.in/gSgnPpJz

Thank you again for stopping by! 🫶
The Y kept me out of trouble as a kid, and now, it’s doing the same thing for the next generation of San Joseans — for free! I got a tour today from some of the teens who are taking advantage of the free summer programming at all 9 YMCA of Silicon Valley locations. They crushed me in basketball, asked me their toughest questions and showed me the many faculties and classes they have to choose from. It’s not too late to get in on the fun!

Mayor Matt Mahan has fond childhood memories at the YMCA. "The Y had a big impact on my childhood. It was a place I could be safe, have fun and be myself." Mayor Matt Mahan stopped by the Y to meet the teens utilizing the Get Summer program which offers free teen membership in the summer. The Mayor took some time to play basketball with the teens and had a Q&A session. Thank you Mayor Matt Mahan for stopping by!
