Description

On Saturday April 24, 2021, Old Colony YMCA will celebrate the 11th anniversary of our Spinathon fundraiser. We invite you to join us at this amazing event by making a donation for our raffle and auction.

Spinathon has quickly become one of the most anticipated annual fundraising events at Old Colony YMCA. Every year hundreds of members, volunteers, and Y supporters gather to cycle on stationery bikes and raise money to support individuals, children, and families in need throughout our local communities.

This year, we have made essential changes to ensure that our 2021 Spinathon goes off without a hitch. To start, we are hosting our event later in the spring season to provide participants with more opportunities to participate safely. By doing this, we are giving you three ways to get involved. Riders will raise funds and awareness of the important work the Y does at an outdoor, socially distant Spinathon event; participate in a virtual Spinathon class from home; or take an hour-long bicycle ride on your own in your neighborhood. Together we can continue to support our community so everyone has an opportunity to learn, grow, thrive!

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Old Colony Y has been helping children and families most at-risk by delivering food and basic goods every day. Since March 2020, Old Colony Y has provided more than 200,000 meals to families throughout Southeastern MA. Additionally, the Y is providing shelter to families experiencing homelessness and offering mental health counseling to individuals already struggling with crisis. Old Colony YMCA provided emergency Child Care services to first responders and essential employees and offered summer camp to children who desperately needed joy in their lives.

Certainly2020 was difficult for so many people and businesses.  THe need to support our community is greater than ever.  None of this would be possible without the amazing support of our community members, volunteers, and generous donors. This year, our annual Spinathon event will help the Old Colony Y raise crucial funds to support these ongoing efforts.
