The Californer/10145193

SAN DIEGO - Californer -- The YMCA of San Diego County hosted a Tony Gwynn Jr. batting technique clinic today at Jackie Robinson field as part of a $5000 check presentation from HES Solar to support the YMCA's re-opening efforts in San Diego. Gwynn shared batting tips and helped the kids with their swing technique in two sessions that followed the corporate donation check presentation.

The HES Solar / YMCA of San Diego County partnership extends through to the end of the year to spread the word of the benefits of solar. It provides a method for Southern California residents who are considering going solar to enact a $500 donation from HES Solar for any HES Solar system installed and activated before December 31, 2021.

The partnership was a natural fit for the organizations as well; HES Solar has installed seven commercial-sized solar systems, incorporating both rooftop and carport arrays, on seven local YMCA facilities. The YMCA looks to save more than 20 million dollars over 20 years with these systems. The partnership will also include educational presentations and crafts as well as fun contests with great prize giveaways for children and adults alike in the San Diego area.

"We're thrilled with this partnership, with our kick-off event, and really just with this unique way to help a great organization," HES Solar CEO Ross Williams added. "Ending the lockdowns doesn't automatically bring things back to normal; if we can be a boost to the Y we're going to do it, and we're going to give our solar customers a way to do it with us."

"We are so grateful for committed partners like HES Solar that care about our local community," said Courtney Cordero, Association Director of Annual Campaign for the YMCA of San Diego County. "It is partnerships like these that play a vital role in funding critical Y programs and scholarships. Today we are especially thankful for HES Solar organizing such an incredible event in one of our most vulnerable communities, and presenting a check that will help the YMCA of San Diego County continue the important work we do serving children, families and seniors."

In celebration of its 20th anniversary as a local, family-owned solar installer, HES Solar initiated the program to support the YMCA of San Diego County's re-opening efforts with the initial $5000 donation and the exciting way for solar customers to trigger additional donations. The partnership goal is to give more than $20,000 to the YMCA of San Diego County before the end of the year.
