Celebrating our YMCA City Builders: Krystal Koo & Michael J. Cooper

05 June 2018 - by YMCA of Greater Toronto
YMCA City Builders are philanthropic leaders who have generously given 1 million dollars or more to date to the YMCA of Greater Toronto. On June 5, 2018, we proudly honoured Krystal Koo & Michael J. Cooper as they were inducted into our growing circle of esteemed YMCA City Builders. Read their 2018 induction citation here to learn about the incredible impact they are making possible.

True visionaries, we’re so grateful Krystal and Michael chose to partner with us on our YMCA’s Strong Start, Great Future Capital Campaign in the early days. Recognizing the incredible potential of the emerging Canary District — located in Toronto’s East End — their unprecedented generosity has allowed us to build our Cooper Koo Family YMCA, that, today, is approaching 9,000 members. Their gift continues to have an incredible impact on the individuals and families who visit from several surrounding neighbourhoods.

Their investment is at the heart of a vibrant, growing, inclusive, and resilient community anchored by this innovative YMCA Centre of Community. As a result of Krystal and Michael’s incredible generosity, today more members are getting active, making connections, and building up well-being through a wide range of relevant programs and opportunities.

Thank you to our YMCA City Builders and all of our donors for your spirit of giving. Together, you are building vibrant communities where everyone can shine! To read about some of our other donors and their impact, visit ymcagta.org/Donors.
