.@SecondGentleman is a tough act to follow, but it was an honor to speak with the next generation of leaders about civic engagement at the @YMCA Youth Governors Gala last night. As a member of the Y family myself, it felt a lot like home.

Wonderful meeting with YMCA representatives from New York State – including Plattsburgh, Watertown, and Glens Falls.

Think about those who have helped you become who you are today."

In poor countries, one woman dies in childbirth every 2 minutes. A report from Copenhagen Consensus suggests that $2.9b in annual global spending on maternal health and family planning could save lives of 162,000 moms a year, plus even more infants. https://t.co/BTOLH6F9yl

"We do this research and deeper diligence not only to identify organizations with high potential for impact, but also to pave the way for unsolicited and unexpected gifts given with full trust and no strings attached,"

Incredible. Hopefully trend-setting.

[Drew Caldwell @drewymca]

How is this not the biggest news story in the country right now? A truly unique and powerful act of philanthropy, done so well. The influence of this gift will be immeasurable.
