Our Impact

OUR IMPACT

"Partnering with ICON to provide opportunities for Stephens Family YMCA youth to interact with the student-athletes has been incredible. While stars on the court or on the field, the athletes are humble and outstanding with our kids.

The interactions whether it be playing a game of knock-out, singing karaoke, helping with homework, reading a book, or simply hanging out are interactions these kids will never forget. Lifetime memories are certainly being made. The student-athletes are a positive influence, something every kid could use more of. The difference the student-athletes are making in the lives of our young adults is immeasurable."
