"Young & Company was key to the success of the Valley of the Sun YMCA's strategic plans; first with their direction of our valley wide Step Up for Youth campaign completed in 2004, and then managing our signature $9.1 million campaign, completed in June 2008, to open the Mike and Cindy Watts branch in Maryvale. Young & Company, especially Alan Young and Ben Powers, helped us develop strategies, got us organized, motivated our volunteers, and kept us on track by knowing when to switch gears. They always had a plan and those plans helped us successfully raise nearly $38 million over the last 8 years. "

You grasped the concept and potential growth and outreach of this "O'Connor House", and walked everyone through the necessary and legal steps to complete this plan. Thank you for your patience, understanding and expertise that has made this Business Plan a real working document, now and for the future."

"When the Maricopa County health care system became an independent district in 2005, it became clear that there was a role for philanthropy in transforming this good institution into an exceptional one. Powers Young & Company provided the tools and expertise to build the capacity and infrastructure of the Maricopa Health Foundation. From board development to executive search to operational planning and capital development, the Foundation is poised to assume this vital role. A $5 million Founder's Campaign has begun to provide the investment dollars needed to launch this fully. This effort will contribute to medical programs, education, research and capital improvement projects that advance patient welfare and improve health care throughout the entire healthcare network of the community."
