Neighbors for Philanthropy
UWYV Women United Suzy Sayle Complimentary Annual Membership

Early on, Suzy learned the importance of philanthropy. After college, she went on a motorcycle tour of Europe; it was during that time that she realized she wanted to do more and went on to become a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. She retired after 45 years in the field and moved to Steamboat Springs at the same time as Women United came into being.

Suzy says, “Beginning with promoting Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, I realized I was with like-minded women who cared about our community. Together, we have put on some wonderful programs.”

Suzy loves creating a positive experience and advocating for our community in childhood education, youth success, financial stability, and mental health. She is thrilled to create this complimentary membership fund to empower a diverse group of women to continue making lasting change in our community through volunteerism and philanthropy that supports United Way Yampa Valley in their mission.

These complimentary memberships are confidential, and your application status will not be shared outside of United Way staff processing the request.
