Swift Printing's Commitment to the Walt Gutowski Sr., YMCA Golf Outing

I have an absolute blast creating our blog posts, and my friend Daltyn had a brilliant idea, why not have your dad take over to share why sponsoring the YMCA is so crucial to Swift Printing's mission of giving back.

Without further ado, I present to you, Walt Jr., as he sheds light on the significance of our partnership with the YMCA and its profound impact on our community.

Walt Gutowski Sr. was never much of a golfer; in fact, I don't think he ever swung a club, not even in miniature golf. However, he had a great passion for racquetball and the YMCA. He often displayed his generosity by gifting brand new racquets to beginners, hoping they would embrace the sport and improve their health at his beloved YMCA. Another way he encouraged good health was by distributing apples, believing in the adage "an apple a day keeps the doctor away."

From a young age, Walt Sr. was self-actualized and exuded genuine happiness. He delighted in brightening people's days by handing out crisp dollar bills, which he would pad up like a scratch pad. His favorite recipients were children, and he also had a habit of generously giving $100 bills to those who provided exceptional service or were striving to better their circumstances through education.

We invite you to join us for the Walt Gutowski Sr. Driving to Achieve, YMCA Golf Outing next Monday, August 14th, at Blythefield Country Club. This event will be a joyful celebration with golfers coming together to improve the lives of our youth, a cause that was close to Walt Sr.'s heart.

Looking forward to seeing you there,

Walt Jr.
