As you know our school partners with the South Bay YMCA on campus. They provide a valuable service to many of our families. They also provide scholarships to needy families. That is why I choose to support the Y not only with my time but in my charitable giving. Please join me today in making a gift to the South Bay YMCA to support children, families and seniors.
You can make a donation to my personal fundraising page in just seconds by CLICKING HERE
Every gift makes an incredible difference! Please feel free to share with any of your friends or family as well.
Thank you for not only supporting my efforts to raise funds for the Y, but also giving back to your community! I appreciate you!”

OCONUS TRAVEL BENEFITS FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO ARE MILITARY FAMILY MEMBERS
Military family members who are college students may have to consider international travel to get to their families during breaks. And travel can be expensive, especially during the holidays. Fortunately, military family members enrolled in colleges away from their active-duty parent’s OCONUS duty station are eligible for travel benefits.
