The Somerset Hills YMCA of New Jersey recently held its 3rd Annual Volunteer Spirit Awards & Annual Campaign Victory Celebration. Members of the community joined together to recognize the far-reaching benefits of volunteerism and the selfless spirit in which it is offered. As such, Spirit Awards were presented to thank Y volunteers who “have made an impact” and inspire “by giving of themselves selflessly to benefit the Y and its members.”
John O. McManus, founder of McManus & Associates, was honored to receive a Spirit Award in the Living Our Cause category on this “Night of Stars,” the theme of the evening. John donated his talents in the volunteer area of Board of Directors/Annual Campaign/Planned Giving to benefit the Somerset Hills YMCA, a big-hearted organization that touches lives throughout the community.
“I am grateful to the YMCA for providing a role in which I can utilize my strengths to serve my neighbors alongside other amazing volunteers,” shared John. “To be called the ‘heart of the Y’ as a volunteer is a tremendous compliment.”
According to the Somerset Hills YMCA, “[Volunteers’] contributions have enriched lives, enhanced the Y, and have made many programs and services available that would not otherwise exist.”
