A Little Extra Care Affair

Spirit moves everything at the Rye YMCA, and it was on full display at their “Better Together” benefit June 3. The community came out — and late, as the celebration began at 8 that night — to honor Gold Spirit awardees Sue Kelly and Doug Donohue and Community Service awardee Sara Goddard, and to salute Gregg Howells, who has been at the helm of the Rye Y for 26 years and is retiring this month.

Both Kelly and Donahue wore many hats — and never turned down a committee assignment! — when they served on the Rye Y board. Goddard is an environmental activist and educator who continues to move our area in a smart and sustainable direction. 

The event raises funds for the Y Cares Financial Assistance Program, ensuring that the facility (now facilities, with the opening of The Studios at the Rye Y on Boston Post Road) is open to all.
