Ken Davis Memorial Fund
Ken Davis was a YMCA staff member for more than 5 years. His love for children was apparent as he worked with our Afterschool Care, Youth Soccer, Youth Basketball and Summer Camp programs. Ken’s uplifting words and positive attitude touched many children, families and friends of the Y. Donations to this fund are used for summer camp scholarships. Children who would not otherwise be able to attend camp are able to have a summer camp experience that they will remember for years to come.
William H. Craig Memorial Fund
Dr. William H. Craig served the YMCA for more than 20 years. He served two terms as President and more than 15 years on the Board of Directors. He loved all programs at the YMCA especially those involving youth. Today the fund supports the YMCA’s Girls on the Run and Stride programs, a camper sponsorship for Victory Junction, and the YMCA Endowment Fund.
