We recently celebrated Joann Mavus, the winner of our Frank M. Henry Layperson of the Year Award, which has been given out annually since 1935. Here is her nomination, which says it all. Thank you, Joann!

I can’t think of anyone more deserving of the Layperson of the Year award than Joann Mavus. Since 2016, Joann has been the heart of our swim lesson program, giving her time and energy to help children and families feel safe and confident around water.

Joann first came to the YMCA as a mom, with her three sons who participated in several of our programs. As they grew older, she decided she wanted to give back to the place that had given her family so much. She began volunteering to teach swim lessons. It quickly became clear this was more than just volunteering for her— it was a passion.

Over the years, Joann has gone above and beyond in every way imaginable. When we needed help on Saturdays with preschool and youth programs, she didn’t hesitate to step up. When we found ourselves short on instructors during the week, Joann volunteered her time on Thursdays and even the occasional Tuesday until we could find coverage. She’s never said “no” when there was a need—she just shows up with a smile and gives her best.

Outside the pool, Joann has become our go-to photographer at events, capturing priceless memories for families. She never charges a dime. She does it out of love. It’s her way of giving back. It shows in every photo she takes and every family she helps.

Joann is one of the most caring and selfless people I’ve ever met. She has a heart of gold and would truly give the shirt off her back to anyone in need. She’s helped children overcome their fears of the water, taught parents how to keep their little ones safe, and supported her fellow staff and volunteers without hesitation. She never seeks recognition or reward—she simply cares, deeply and genuinely.

We are so grateful to our friends at Berkshire Hathaway AND Baker Tilly US for their help at the Greater Pittston YMCA during United Way of Wyoming Valley's Day of Caring!

With their help, we were able to tackle many projects. As the saying goes, many hands lighten the load. The Pittston Y looks beautiful thanks to their help. We made it a better place for our members, our childcare kiddos, and our Pittston Community.

They were even able to fit in a little fun with some pickleball and hoops, and they enjoyed lunch in our beautiful gym!

Thanks to all who took part in today's Day of Caring, including those local businesses who served as sponsors. We know the Wyoming Valley is a better place today because of the generosity of others!
