Description

I am pleased to inform you that the YMCA of Greater Westfield’s Annual Premier Event is back for 2023!  Comedy for a Cause is scheduled for Friday, May 19, 2023 at Tekoa Country Club. Our headliner is Michael Winslow, a master of vocal gymnastics, can imitate over 1000 sound effects using his voice alone. Whether he is recreating the frenzy of Jimmy Hendrix playing the guitar, or the roar of a jet plane, his talent is truly remarkable and his versatility admirable and enjoyable for all ages! He is perhaps best known for his role in all seven Police Academy films as Larvell Jones.

Now more than ever children, families and adults need us to be strong for them. For 135 years the YMCA of Greater Westfield has been a vital support system for children, families and adults.

We believe in . . .

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: All kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve, under the guidance of caring adults who believe in their potential. We see every interaction with young people as an opportunity for learning and development—all grounded in the Y’s core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

HEALTHY LIVING: Health and well-being are all about balance. That’s why we help people and families build and maintain healthy habits for spirit, mind and body in their everyday lives. By helping kids, adults, families and seniors from all walks of life to improve their health and well-being, we build a stronger community.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: With our doors open to all, we bring together people from all backgrounds, and support those who need us most. We take on the most urgent needs in our community and inspire a spirit of service in return.

As our community builds back from the pandemic, at the Y, we're building back to create a future that everyone deserves. When we care for each other, we create a better world for everyone. Your gift to the YMCA of Greater Westfield means we can continue to do good in our community, together.

I kindly invite you to support this annual YMCA fundraising event by donating an item to our auction.
