Our favorite charity? Well, it’s the Y.

10% of our after-tax earnings go to the YMCA of the USA and to local YMCA programs that strengthen communities by helping youth find a purposeful place in this world.

The YMCA, in all of its varied local forms, is an institution that fully embodies our values. It is a confluence of community, family and individual. It is committed to re-framing the potential of people to create high-quality lives of inclusion, purpose, learning and shared social responsibility, not just material success.

From Tom’s first job as a 14-year old camp counselor for the Horn Family YMCA in Albuquerque through this morning’s workout at the McGaw YMCA in Evanston, the Y has been a touchstone and a safe haven, as it is for so many.
