As the Y’s biggest fundraiser of the year, the Sneaker Ball provides a significant portion of the funds we raise for our financial assistance program. Guests enjoy fine food, good friends, music, dancing—and best of all—the opportunity to strengthen community by helping to ensure that everyone has access to the YMCA’s potentially life-changing programs and services. Proceeds from the event support the Y’s Membership for All fund, providing financial assistance to those who need it to pay for the Y’s programs and services.
