A newsletter for volunteers, employees, and friends of the YMCA of Wichita Falls

Dear YMCA Community,

This past month, our community came together for Night to Shine, an incredible prom experience for individuals with unique abilities filled with energy, celebration, and genuine joy. We want to extend our sincere thanks to Onelife Community Church for hosting such a well-organized and meaningful event and for inviting the YMCA to play a role in supporting the evening in our Fain Soccer Complex, Isaiah 40:31 Gym, and Dillard Early Learning Center.

From the red-carpet arrivals to the dance floor and everything in between, it was incredible to see so many volunteers, families, and community members working together to make each guest feel welcomed and celebrated. Events like this remind us how powerful simple acts of inclusion and kindness can be.

At the YMCA, we believe lasting community impact happens through strong partnerships. When organizations align around a shared purpose, we can reach more people and create experiences that truly matter. We are grateful for partners like Onelife Community Church who are committed to serving others and strengthening our community.

Thank you to everyone who made the night possible — especially the incredible guests who made it unforgettable.

Together, we continue building a stronger, more connected community.

With gratitude,

Jon Dearolf

President and CEO
