Kaiser Permanente Donates $100,000 for Triunfo YMCA Project

Westlake Village, Calif., April 18, 2018 — Kaiser Permanente donated $100,000 to Triunfo YMCA last Friday, April 13 to support the building of the new YMCA, which will be located at Thousand Oaks Boulevard in Westlake Village.

"We're so excited to have Kaiser Permanente contribute to the Triunfo YMCA building project," said Ronnie Stone, CEO of the Southeast Ventura County YMCA, which includes the Triunfo YMCA. "Kaiser Permanente’s long history of community involvement and commitment to improving the health of its members aligns perfectly with the YMCA's own community and health-centered philosophy."

Two of the hallways in the new Y will be named after Kaiser Permanente. "We view these hallways as 'Hallways to Health' that will foster an environment supporting the community's physical, emotional and spiritual well-being," says Ed Essa, Director of Public Affairs at Kaiser Permanente in Woodland Hills and Ventura. "We also look forward to sharing our knowledge and resources with the Y upon completion of the building."

The Triunfo Y is set to open in spring 2019. Construction resumes this May. For more information about the Triunfo YMCA building plans, visit www.sevymca.org/triunfo, click on "About" and then "New Facility Information."
