Laura Dooley was featured recently on WKBN to shine light on the recent fundraising efforts for Giving Tuesday. The Davis Family YMCA relies on donations.

In the spirit of giving, Denise and John York, along with The DeBartolo Corporation, matched donations up to $9,000 for the YMCA of Youngstown, helping them to reach their goal of $18,000 in donations for Giving Tuesday.

“They’re from here. They live here and it feels amazing to know that they are behind us and they support us in that way,” said Laura Dooley, administrative coordinator for Davis Family YMCA.

By midday, the YMCA raised $4,500, half of what will be matched. That money is going towards multiple YMCA programs and membership fees.

Thank you to everyone in our community who participated, we are still excepting donations. Please contact our offices to make a pledge.
