Every day, volunteers help bring the Y’s mission to life—dedicating themselves to efforts that lead youth, families, and communities to thrive. None of the Y’s impact would be possible without their dedication and generosity.
Which is why each year we are proud to celebrate our volunteers through the Hero Everyday Award—a recognition honoring volunteers across the Y who exemplify our values, share their time and talent generously, and create pathways for all people to reach their fullest potential in spirit, mind, and body.
This year’s awardees represent the very best of our community: people whose leadership, compassion, and commitment have left a lasting impact. These extraordinary volunteers are a reminder of what’s possible when people give their time and heart to a cause.
Donald Warrick – Dale Turner Family YMCA
Donald exemplifies servant leadership through his passion, energy, and deep commitment to the Y’s mission—consistently inspiring others to get involved simply by leading with heart and purpose.
Donald’s impact is especially felt among Active Older Adults, where he has championed initiatives like pickleball and inclusive programming to promote connection, wellness, and healthy aging.
A dedicated board member, fundraiser, and advocate, Donald embodies the Y’s core values in every action, creating lasting change and fostering a stronger, more connected community for all.
