West Broad Street YMCA Receives
Donation of Floor Renovation
■ The benefits from the
recent Home Depot
Foundation one-day play
ground build continue at the
West Broad Street YMCA.
Jason Dinvemo, Sr. VP
of Operations for Prestige
USA was so moved by his
experience volunteering at
the build that he brought staff
in to renovate the floors at the
Y.
“My parents started this
company,” Dinverno says,
“so I grew up cleaning floors
and making them look new.
And I know what it means to
have a place look and feel
clean. The Y is doing so
much for the kids in this area.
We had to give back.”
Dinverno walked
around the Y on October 13,
the Home Depot Build day,
and saw the terrible condition
of the linoleum floors.
“I could tell they were
doing their best to keep them
clean, but the finish was
totally gone. All their clean
ing just made the floors actu
ally look dirtier.” So
Dinvemo decided he would
bring his team back and make
a difference.
Dinverno and Sammy
Salazar, Senior Director of
Operations flew in from
Texas and sent in equipment
and staff from Atlanta and
Charlotte. Arriving on a
Friday afternoon they began
removing the layers of
trapped dirt, gum, and old
cleaning products. By Friday
night, all of the floors were
stripped and prepped. By
Saturday morning as much as
six coats of finish had been
added to the floor. They were
then buffed with special
propane buffer that really
brought out the shine.
“We are so thankful and
thrilled,” said Executive
Director Peter Doliber.
“When some of our folks
came in on Monday they
thought the floors were wet
they were so shiny. Now we
are learning how to take care
of them.”
The West Broad Street
YMCA is one of six remain
ing Heritage Y’s in the coun
try.
Founded in 1947 during
legalized segregation, the Y
moved to its current home in
1968 between Kayton and
Fraizer Homes.
