About the YMCA of the North Shore Annual Gala Event:
The corporate sponsors, donors and attendees of the YMCA of the North Shore’s Annual Gala made it possible for the Y to raise over $300,000 in 2011, including more than $115,000 in “Y camperships.” 100% of the funds raised at the Y Gala directly benefits deserving children and families with YMCA of the North Shore’s Financial Assistance Fund. In 2012, our Y will give away more than $2.5 million in financial aid for membership, program, childcare, camp and all YMCA services to 9,500 deserving kids, adults and families. That is one (1) out of every five (5) people in our Y. We are able to say yes to all those in need, but not without the generous support of our friends. For more information, please contact Kim Lations, Special Events and Volunteer Coordinator, at 978.922.0990 or lationsk@northshoreymca.org org
