TRUSSVILLE — Karen Lehr was awarded the YMCA  Volunteer of the Year award at the recent Greater Birmingham YMCA Annual meeting held at the Harbert Center on Jan. 26.  Karen is a member of the Trussville YMCA Advisory Board, serves as the 2017 Campaign Chair, and is chairing the second annual tennis tournament.

The Y is currently planning four fund raising events including a golf tournament scheduled for  April 26th and a tennis tournament slated for April 22.  A 5K run and a plant sale are also being planned for this spring.

All the proceeds from these events stay in Trussville and are used to support area youth in programs including swim lessons, day camp, after-school care, cancer survivorship programs and diabetes prevention programs.
