"Endowing future support through a planned legacy gift or bequest helps assure the future of the YMCA and provides the giver perpetual recognition. The YMCA is one of our longest standing most noble institutions, and it must be preserved for future generations in this way."

- James Stickney, Heritage Club Charter Member

The Heritage club is a special group of people that give $1,000 or more to the YMCA's Endowment fund and believe in the mission of the YMCA of Western North Carolina. These members of the Heritage Club want to ensure that the valuable life-changing programs and services will continue. You can be a part of this special group by giving, making a commitment, to the Endowment Fund.
