Portland, OR. Early Childhood and After School Care inspired YMCA of Columbia-Willamette supporters.They gathered at a benefit dinner to raise scholarship funds for families that can’t afford the full cost of quality child care, school age and day camp programs. Dayna Christian, YMCA Child Care Board Chair; Bob Hall, YMCA of Columbia-Willamette President and CEO; and Carol Terrell, YMCA Board Chair at the benefit, enjoyed the event. “A Night To Believe In Dreams” was the theme of the October 22nd event at the Multnomah Athletic Club. YMCA child care programs provide a safety net for some of the most vulnerable families in our community. When parents leave their child at the YMCA, to go to work or school, they do so knowing their child is in a safe, learning environment.
