Wes has been a Saturday Strikers team member since 2018 and it’s clear he loves the program. Wes was born blind and with diverse abilities but also with an amazing support network. Wes’s sister, Angie, became his primary caregiver when their mother passed away. Her childhood friend, also named Angie, along with her son, take a big role in helping Wes overcome challenges. The Y Saturday Strikers Bowling program gives Wes the chance to meet new people, socialize with friends, and have a unique experience twice a month. Wes and his family are thrilled the YMCA STRONG KIDS FUND gives him and so many others with similar situations the chance to get together and enjoy a Saturday. Wes’s sister, Angie, and their friends have become regulars at the bowling alley cheering on Wes, giving support to the whole team, and organizing all the ramp bowling that makes the sport accessible to many more players. “We are so grateful to the Y for the happiness this program brings him, “said Angie.
