The Smithfield YMCA is hosting a “Hand in Hand Dinner and Dancing Fundraiser” Friday, April 29, 2022 at the famous Wright’s. Over 400 Smithfield YMCA supporters will enjoy a family style meal, with live entertainment provided by Rhode Island’s infamous, What Matters Band.

In one way or another, we are all connected to the YMCA.  Maybe it’s where you learned to swim or spent your summers at summer camp; maybe you met your best friend there, and now your kids play together.  Maybe it’s where you held your first job as a lifeguard, fitness instructor or a camp counselor. 
 
The Smithfield YMCA is a vital part of the community; a welcoming, safe place to learn new skills, connect with others and feel supported.  As a YMCA and a non-profit organization, we never turn away anyone that is unable to afford programs or membership.  Your donation is a vital contribution to fund our Community In Need Scholarship Program, and ensures that the Y remains a critical resource to everyone in our community, regardless of one’s ability to pay.
 
 In 2021 the Smithfield YMCA provided over $150,000 in scholarships, serving over 450 youth and families in our local community. Since the pandemic, the need for scholarships has drastically increased.  Our April 2022 fundraiser will aid the Y in our mission to continue serving our entire community at large.
 
As a local business in our community, we invite you to support the Smithfield YMCA by donating an item, gift certificate, or service for our Silent and/or Live Auction at our fundraiser.  It is your generosity and support that enables the Smithfield YMCA to thrive as a community leader and provider.
 
If you would like to donate an item or service, or purchase tickets to this event, please contact me at 949-2480 ext. 102 or shauna@ymca1.org.  We truly appreciate your support for this worthy cause.  All sponsorships/donations are tax deductible and donors will be given a document with our tax identification information and your donation amount.
 
Sincerest Gratitude,
