Great job, swimmers!
Thank you for lending a hand!
Thank you to all who donated gifts and funds to the YWCA's "Lend a Hand" gift drive, which helped make the holidays brighter for families served by the YWCA's domestic violence programs.

Thanks also to the Flying Fish swimmers, like those pictured, who helped purchase many of these gifts.

We couldn't have done it without you!
