Northern Insuring makes unprecedented donation

PLATTSBURGH | Northern Insuring Agency and the Giltz and McCullough families are supporting the New YMCA in Plattsburgh by gifting a $100,000 donation to the renovation of the former CVPH Wellness Center on New York Road. The Plattsburgh YMCA's plan to create a state-of-the-art health and wellness facility is moving forward and the support of the Giltz family business is welcomed with gratitude, according to Justin Ihne, CEO of the Plattsburgh YMCA. "When Deena [Giltz McCullough] told us Northern Insuring would be supporting the New Y," said Ihne, "we had no idea they were going to make the largest donation the company has ever given to a community project!" Northern Insuring Agency has a strong culture of community support and charitable giving. For more than 90 years, Northern Insuring Agency has provided insurance, education, risk management and advocacy for their clients. Deena Giltz McCullough, President and CEO of Northern Insuring Agency, said, "Philanthropy is a shared family value and we understand that leaving a legacy for future generations of the North Country will be pivotal to our region's growth. That is why we prioritized a significant gift to the Plattsburgh YMCA." The new Plattsburgh YMCA will bring wellness to the forefront of North Country health. With expanded community areas, spaces for youth and families, and characteristic YMCA inclusivity, everyone has a place at the YMCA. Parents will have workspaces and observation areas while children are playing, teens will have a safe place they can be active, and everyone is able to access the YMCA, regardless of ability to pay. "Imagine this community without a Y," Rod Giltz, Board Chairman of Northern Insuring Agency, offered. "Now we will have a flagship Y for the future!"
