March 3, 2011 YMCA of Greater Long Beach met once again at the Sycamore Centre in Lakewood, CA to share successes of this years campaign. The night was opened up by our very own Angel Ramirez. Angel has been a part of the Community Development YMCA since 1st grade. He is a Youth Institute graduate/alumni and was recently accepted to Cal State University Long Beach. The night continued with inspirational stories from all the branch leaders highlighting where all the donations end up. Bob Cabeza, VP of Community Development, shared about Maria Gandarilla, also a youth institute alumni, who recently received the award for most outstanding student of the year for the College of Health and Human Services at CSULB. All the stories were inspiring and left a feeling of success whether or not goals were met. The night ended with a video produced by Change Agent Productions which put a spotlight on all the hard work the association put forth.
