The Family YMCA has kicked off its Annual Campaign with the first Chairman’s Round Table donor, El Parasol. El Parasol is a Chairman’s Round Table donor for the third year in a row.

“We really appreciate the programs the YMCA provides in our communities and we are glad that we are in a position to provide this support,” El Parasol Owner Ralph Atencio said at the check presentation last week with Y CEO Chris Daniels.

“We are so grateful for the generosity of our community partners that allow us to make our programs available to the youth and families that need them,” Daniels said.
