Kimberly Carter, Recognized as University YMCA Community Hero

Kim Carter was recognized as the University YMCA Community Hero at the January UY Board Meeting. As an alumnus of the U-Y, Kim has intimate knowledge of what the UY means to students and their leadership development. This year Kim took on the task of Y Partner Co-Chair and has worked to develop an advisory group for the annual campaign of other alumni. Working with this group Kim took the lead in developing the UY Birthday Bash to celebrate the University YMCA's 120th year in working with college students. The event was held on December 1st during our first winter snow storm and hosted over 120 participants who braved the weather to attend and had a great time.

Kim was relentless in seeking out donations, space, door prizes, raffle items and making enormous amounts of cupcakes for the 120th UY Birthday Party. Her creativity, excitement, energy was the key in this successful event. We thank Kim for all she does for the University YMCA.
