PROJECTS - 2014
The Foundation made its first gift to the hospital to support the 2014 Expansion and Renovation Capital Campaign.

The Foundation committed $250,000 over a five year period to fund a portion of this expansion.
The YMCA will soon be opening a new branch in Southeast Grand Rapids. The facility promises to serve a diverse community in an inclusive facility.
