The Spirit of Beckley Community Service Award is annually given to individuals, who have throughout their lives selflessly worked to enrich our area and positively affect the lives of the people that reside here. The recipients’ leadership and dedication of their time and their resources is exhibited without the expectation of recognition for the personal satisfaction that comes privately and without notice.

By being selected, the recipients become the cornerstone for the Spirit of Beckley, which serves as the annual fundraising campaign for the YMCA of Southern West Virginia. Y Members and the community are asked to contribute to the campaign in honor of the recipients. Financial support for the Spirit of Beckley helps the Y deliver on our commitment to Youth Development through life-changing programs such as Afterschool Care, Camps, Competitive Swimming, Early Childhood Education, Swim Lessons, and Youth Sports.
