Community Heroes Spotlight
Hoquiam Hero Award: Anne Foster
My Town Coalition has honored Anne Foster with the Hoquiam Hero Award — a well-deserved recognition for someone who's making real swimming pool water in our community. Anne's lifelong love of swimming turned into a powerful mission: making sure every child in Grays Harbor has the chance to learn how to swim and stay safe around water. Her passion led to action — and more than $1 million in donations to the YMCA of Grays Harbor to support swim safety programs across 13 school districts.
