The 54th-annual premier volunteer recognition event - the 2020 Santa Clarita Valley Man & Woman of the Year dinner - will be held Friday, May 1... and we can't wait to see who takes the titles this year! The purpose of the Santa Clarita Valley Man and Woman of the Year Recognition is to honor men and women who have given outstanding volunteer service to the Santa Clarita Valley area. Nominees are evaluated on a variety of criteria, including volunteer effort, years of service, impact and commitment to the nominating organization and number of registered non-profit organizations the individual has served. Local non-profit organizations nominate their volunteers, previous winners allocate and tally points - and then the community waits for the big reveal at the annual dinner.

The Santa Clarita Valley Family YMCA Story
The YMCA prides itself on its sense of community - one that is working toward a healthier, happier future. Through a variety of exercise classes and education programs, as well as child care and family-friendly activities, the Y is building strong kids, strong families and strong communities throughout the Santa Clarita Valley. Serving families has always been at the heart of the Y. With a fundamental desire to provide opportunities for every family to build stronger bonds, achieve greater work/life balance and become more engaged with the community, the Y helps families achieve an overall feeling of health, wholeness and social responsibility.
Did you know? You can change a child's life by making a gift to support the Y's Kids to Camp program. It's magical to experience nature for the first time or to make a new best friend or to feel like you can do anything. Donations are an investment in the lives of kids and a stronger community. There hasn't been a better time to join or support the Santa Clarita Valley Family YMCA.
