We can think of no better way to honor the lives of Craig and Steve
than to help in providing Madison with a YMCA where families and
neighbors can enjoy wholesome recreation and fellowship together.
-Mr. and Mrs. David B Hogan, Parents of Craig and Steven
As developers, we are always looking for ways in which we can improve the quality of life in our community. We believe the new YMCA will help add that kind of value, particularly when it comes to our children and families. Kids will have a positive place to hang out, and there will be recreational opportunities for their parents and grandparents as well. Madison is growing so much and the Craig and Steven Hogan Family Center YMCA will be able to accommodate the influx, providing a fun, family-friendly environment for people of all ages. We think this is an exciting project that stands to benefit thousands of people, and we wanted to do our part to help make it happen.
We support the work of the YMCA for the many benefits that it brings to the community. Providing recreation and child watch opportunities in a Christian atmosphere would improve the quality of family life in Madison.
This is one of many gifts, large and small, that will be needed in the coming months to make this YMCA a reality. We know our community will be inspired by this family's example and will be generous in supporting the facility which will do so much to improve the lives of our children and families.
Supporting the Craig and Steven Hogan Family Center YMCA
The Craig and Steven Hogan Family Center YMCA is made possible, in part, thanks to the donations and support of many. Among them, a land donation valued at $1.4 million by Enfinger Steele Development. We thank Jeff Enfinger and Sandra Steele for their longtime support of the Heart of the Valley YMCA.
Another significant gift, more than $1 million, was made by the families, friends, and business partners of Craig and Steven Hogan. The Center will serve as a living legacy for the brothers, who perished in a tragic single-engine plane crash near Huntsville International Airport in January 2003. The donors graciously provided this gift in their memory so that citizens of our community can build lasting friendships and strong families while developing healthy spirits, minds, and bodies in a wholesome environment.
