Jane DeDecker's YMCA sculpture comes to life

Some of our extended family discovered National Sculptors' Guild fellow Jane DeDecker's "YMCA" bronze at the YMCA of the Rockies over the weekend. We love to see kids interact with art!

In 2009-10, the YMCA of Silicon, located in San Jose, CA, commissioned DeDecker Sculptures to produce roughly 50 miniture bronze sculptures of the 'Y' kids, which were then mounted to wooden blocks and fitted with individual name plates as donor recognition awards to major donors to the Y's new Camp Campbell Capital Expansion project. We also commissioned a life size statue of the 'Y' boy which was placed at the entrance to the camp.

Serving as the Chief Development Officer back then, I had the privilege to work with Jane on this unique project which today stands as one of the most innovative and well received donor recognitions of our associations 142 year run.

Now retired, I am hoping to find a way to purchase one of the minature bronze statues of the 'Y' kids (measuring 6" high x 7" wide).
I have one of the original pieces, but for keep sakes, I'd like to have one additional piece. Because there has been so much turnover at the Y since I retired back in 2012, records and personnel now in place are finding it a challenge to locate paperwork on the costs and shipping charged the Y for these many award pieces.

Hoping someone in your office can help to facilitate and accommodate my request at this time. I so appreciate whatever help I can get and look forward to a response from one of your representatives soon. I can be reached at 408 656-2173 or email as noted. Thank you so much and looking forward to hearing from someone soon. All the best
