Dear Potential Sponsor,

We hope that you will join us as a sponsor this year and help us Light Up the Night during our very special and important event: The Jefferson County Family YMCA: Auction, Dinner and Dance. Mark your calendars and get excited because on Saturday, November 18, 2023, we will be raising our paddles to support local families, cancer survivors and veterans. The event will be hosted at the Corpus Christi Center in Imperial, Missouri.

All proceeds from the auction will directly fund the Jefferson County Family YMCA’s Annual Campaign. With donors like you, our YMCA helps assist local veterans, keeps our LIVESTRONG program going for cancer survivors and their families, provides a safe place for children before and after school and funds swimming lessons for low-income families.

In 1844, the YMCA movement began in London and expanded across the globe quickly, ran entirely by volunteers. Today, the Y engages with more than 10,000 neighborhoods across the United States. Locally, we engage with 5,500 members and growing.  The YMCA is committed to helping people and communities learn, grow, and thrive, while empowering young people to reach their full potential. The Y ensures everyone has the opportunity to become healthier, more confident, connected and secure individuals. 

This year, the auction is coming back in person and going GALA! We have changed up the night dramatically and cannot wait to celebrate it with you. The Light Up the Night Gala will include cocktail hour, dinner catered by Bartolino’s, a silent and live auction, with the addition of live music and dancing with the Sugar Ray Charles Band. We expect 300 adults to be in attendance.

We welcome donations to the event auction. We look forward to working and celebrating with our sponsors now and in the future. Please contact us directly with any questions. Thank you for your time, consideration, and support.
