Sponsorship Opportunities Coming Soon
The Greater Joliet Area YMCA will host its annual Gala on Saturday, February 28, at the Bolingbrook Golf Club. Festivities for the Y’s marquee fundraising event, which is generously presented by Midland States Bank, will include dinner, silent and live auctions, exciting raffles, and entertainment.
As the YMCA prepares to celebrate its 100th Anniversary in 2026, this unforgettable evening will help to kick off our Centennial Celebration, highlighting the Y’s enduring impact in our community and the generous donors who help bring our mission to life each and every day. Now in its 18th year, the YMCA Gala has raised more than $2 million to benefit children, adults, and families living in our community. Funds raised from the 2026 Gala will benefit the Y’s Mission Strong Fund, which helps to ensure that no one is turned away from the YMCA due to the inability to pay.
Tickets for the 2026 YMCA Gala will go on sale in January. Exciting sponsorship opportunities for the Gala will be available beginning October 14.
