Congratulations to Dave Will and Curtis Thelin who won for coaching special needs kids at the YMCA in SeaTac. Their nominator, Karen Satterberg wrote, “These 2 men work hard to make this ‘exercising’ fun for the kids. [The kids] are from 6 to 20 years old [and] they teach them skills and team work and [how to handle] social relationships too. It’s great for us parents to meet each other and support our journeys with ‘ tough kids’. We are not wanted on anyone else’s team so it’s such a treat to have a team that our kids can belong to all year long with 3 different sports These coaches are encouraging and let everyone have a chance.

[The coaches] have volunteered to do this each Saturday all year long as they teach children of all ages and disabilities to play basketball, soccer and baseball. They have done this for over 5 years!

Thanks Dave and Curtis for giving back to your community. We have so many great, giving people who give without expecting anything in return. Our community is truly blessed.
