The YMCA’s mission is to strengthen the foundations of community by developing successful youth, engaging people in healthy living, and instilling a commitment to social responsibility. Rich has been involved with the Y on some level since opening Bandanna in 1994. In 2011, we became “cause” partners with the Y. We are committed to the Y and all of the amazing programs and services the Y offers, and hope our partnership will benefit families in the Treasure Valley for years to come. Team Idaho is but one of the Y programs that is especially near and dear to us.
