Endowments Empowering Generations: Meet Nancy and Bruce McDonald

 

Long time Y members, Nancy and Bruce McDonald, smile for a photo at the YMCA

Nancy and Bruce’s Y history runs deep, as both their fathers swam at the YMCA in Seattle, though they did not know each other then. Bruce and Nancy joined the original Downtown YMCA after moving to Tacoma, and Bruce played handball regularly. He remembers John Morgan’s audacious goal to build the Y on Pearl Street and later became a member there before joining the Lakewood YMCA as the family grew. You can find Bruce swimming laps regularly, and Nancy shared that “he would go every day if he could.” As he and Nancy reflect, they share that the Y has been a part of their life as long as they both can remember. Bruce and Nancy have witnessed first-hand the power of having the YMCA in their community, providing an environment for families to flourish and youth to receive life-changing mentoring and care needed for success in life. It is their intention to help support future generations the opportunity to grow and thrive at the Y.
