“This campaign was a massive success,” stated Linda Gunn Paton, Chair of the 2023 Annual Giving Campaign. “We had a motivated crew of donors, staff, volunteers, members, ambassadors, and philanthropic partners involved this year who were committed to sharing the impactful work the Y does in our community.
