Raise your glass — we’re making a toast to our amazing Downers Grove community members and the people dedicated to empowering our neighbors!

Our team is preparing for our annual Gala Cocktail Party on Thursday, November 7th, 2024.
We are actively requesting in-kind donations, silent auction items, and sponsorships for this year’s Gala Cocktail Event.

100% of proceeds raised support individuals and families in the Downers Grove and surrounding areas, providing access to YMCA programs — such as child care, youth summer camp, swim lessons for all ages, and more — that foster growth, learning, and joy.

At the heart of the YMCA is the power to transform—both yourself, your community, and, inevitably, the world around you! Every philanthropic gift and donation provides the necessary resources that ensure our dedicated people can deliver on the Y's purpose with great passion an enthusiasm.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact Katie Oertel, one of our dedicated Gala committee members at Katieoertel.crr@gmail.com.

~Have a fabulous day and thank you for your consideration!
