May 19, 2013 by The Catskill Chronicle
FROST VALLEY (May 19, 2013) – On April 14, Frost Valley YMCA received the Eagle Award from the North American YMCA Development Organization (NAYDO) 
in Vancouver, Canada where over 1,200 YMCA professionals gathered from over 30 countries. Every year, NAYDO recognizes YMCAs who have been exemplary in their philanthropic endeavors.
Frost Valley was nominated for the Eagle Award by YMCA Camp Manito-wish. Director of Development and Alumni Relations, Ellie Orbison, wrote: “It is my pleasure to nominate Frost Valley YMCA for the 2013 Eagle Award. Frost Valley exemplifies quality financial development practices and is lifted up as the leader in the YMCA camping movement as the model we should all be following to achieve success.
NAYDO Awards Chair, Bryan Webber had this to say about Frost Valley’s nomination: “CEO Jerry Huncosky and Development Director Kathryn Dobbs have built a staff and volunteer team who has achieved strong results in all facets of their development program. A highly innovative communications plan, in support of the annual fundraising campaign, has enabled Frost Valley to grow the annual campaign and donor base significantly. Equally impressive is the recent success of a $7.5 million capital campaign, and continued growth in the endowment fund with assets at approximately $11,000,000. And, in the middle of all of this, was a creative and resourceful response to two hurricanes that devastated Frost Valley – Hurricane Irene in 2011 and Super Storm Sandy in 2012.”
Equally important as the philanthropic efforts of Frost Valley in it’s selection as an Eagle Award recipient is the way these dollars are used to impact and advance its mission. The annual philanthropic dollars raised support financial assistance of over $700,000 yearly for the marquee summer camp program – including Kidney Camp for children on dialysis and with chronic kidney disease. In 2012, Frost Valley was able to offer free weekend stays and a Thanksgiving celebration for victims ravaged by Super Storm Sandy – at no charge. Dozens of families took part in these weekend respites and over $15,000 in assistance was given.
