Our Impact
The Y is, and always will be, dedicated to building healthy, confident, connected and secure children, adults, families, and communities. Every day our impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child and when a community comes together for the common good. Each year, four major events help raise funds for the Annual Support Campaign so that children and families of all economic circumstances may take part in our programs and services. This is very important part of our mission at the South Shore YMCA.
Enchanted Evening
In November, the Enchanted Evening draws hundreds of Y friends to a large live and silent auction. The night begins with incredible opportunities for silent bids on fantastic trips, gift baskets, signed sports memorabilia, artwork, jewelry, and much, much more. Next, a delicious dinner is followed by a live auction that is always lots of fun.
A Taste of the South Shore
In March, we offer the very popular food tasting event called A Taste of the South Shore. More than 20 restaurants across the South Shore area take part in this great night. A special friend of the YMCA is honored each year at this event.
Trek for Strong Kids
In May, the Trek for Strong Kids brings cyclists together for a fantastic day of biking along Cape Cod. Riders gather sponsors to help raise funds for the Strong Kids Campaign. People of all ages participate. In fact, many families make this event a yearly tradition. Individuals ages 14 and over choose from a 20-, 30- or 50-mile ride throughout Cape Cod or a 15 mile car-free ride along the Cape Cod Canal. Younger participants enjoy a kids' loop along paved trails within our camp property. The afternoon celebration includes a barbecue, swimming, pontoon boat rides, our climbing wall, and much more. Register to ride, start a team or support a rider!
Golf Classic
In July, our Golf Classic attracts enthusiasts from the South Shore area to Pinehills Golf Club in Plymouth for a great day with friends and colleagues. Lunch is provided, and the day concludes with an amazing dinner and live auction.
