Let the Good Times Glow
The Y has the power to change lives. Nearly 20,000 children, teens, and adults of all ages grow and thrive at the Y each year. All gala proceeds support the Y’s Annual Fund, which nurtures an inclusive community and removes barriers to participation. This shimmering celebration will spotlight service, belonging, and the people who truly make the Y shine.
As a charitable 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, we rely on the generosity of our supporters to fulfill our mission to strengthen the foundations of community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility for all. Your support at the gala helps us do even more.

This year, we're excited to bring the West Suburban YMCA gala to the Boston Marriott Newton Hotel. As a full-service venue, the Marriott allows our team to focus on delivering an exceptional event experience while continuing to support members, families, and programs at both Y locations. While the Y's work takes place every day within our facilities, our impact extends throughout the entire community.
Hosting the gala off-site gives us an opportunity to gather beyond our walls, shine a light on the lives transformed through the Y, and celebrate the bright future we're building together.
All proceeds from the gala will benefit the West Suburban YMCA's Annual Fund, ensuring everyone, regardless of age, background, or income, can access the Y's life-changing services.
When our community comes together, we all sparkle.
Purchase your ticket today. Early bird pricing is available through October 9th. Join us for this special event!
