For the last 116 years the YMCA of Kanawha Valley has looked for ways to best serve everyone in our community. As an organization dedicated to youth development, we know how important it is for children to have a safe and enriching place for learning and growth. Through our Healthy Living pillar, we ensure that seniors have programs designed specifically to fit their needs and to combat social isolation. Our programs emphasize four key values: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. We teach teamwork and leadership, build confidence and self-esteem, and we work to instill a deep sense of social responsibility in our youth.
The YMCA Spirit of the Valley Award recognizes an individual who exudes exemplary community service in the Kanawha Valley and across the state of West Virginia. In recognition for his superior leadership in the community and his unselfish service to fellow citizens of the Mountain State we would like to present this year’s award to C. Edward Gaunch.
As a supporter of the YMCA of Kanawha Valley and the Spirit of the Valley, YOU can help make a lasting health impact in our community.
