Get Involved In An Event and Make An Impact

We have a number of fun events each year to benefit our members and the Y! Our charity fundraising events raise funds to help off set the cost of programs, memberships and community garden. We rely on the support of key sponsors and community partners to help make these events a resounding success.

Annual Charity Spin-a-thon Event

Our 12th Annual Spin-a-thon was a HUGE SUCCESS!

Our 12th Annual Spin-a-Thon exceeded our goal thanks to all of our participants and donors!   This event allows the Y to offer invaluable specialty health programs for cancer survivors, Parkinson’s disease, and adaptive programs for individuals with special needs. Every year the Valley Shore YMCA provides membership support, waived program fees, and various activities to individuals and families in need.

The event included 15 teams and over 80 participants, who spun for 4 hours!  With over 250 individual donors, this Spin-a-thon was the most successful event yet!

Thank you to a true community partner and our Platinum Event Sponsor:

Ascend Bank in partnership with Community Foundation of Middlesex County!

Community Impact

Our YMCA has provided over $150,000 annually in financial support to ensure that no one is turned away for an inability to pay. We have helped more than 350 participants become reinvigorated physically and emotionally as they have reduced stress, increased stamina and strength, and built meaningful relationships with other survivors through our Specialty Health Programs.
