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

Save the Date!  Our 13th Annual Spin-a-thon will be held on Saturday, April 3rd!

Our 12th Annual Spin-a-Thon exceeded our goal and we are looking forward to another great event Saturday, April 3rd! Stay tuned for registration updates!

Our annual Spin-a-Thon 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!

YMCA Hiking Series

Explore the Shoreline, Stay Active, and Connect!

Get outside with the Valley Shore YMCA this spring for our Hiking Series. Our hiking series will be back this Fall.  Hikers of all experience levels are invited to join us on Thursday mornings for fresh air, movement, and great company on some of the shoreline’s beautiful trails. Last season included a few new hikes along with a special Full Moon Night Hike, making it a fun way to stay active and connected with community. Grab your friends and family and come hike with us.

Annual Charity Golf Tournament

PLAYING A ROUND FOR A REASON
THANK YOU SPONSORS AND GOLFERS

The Valley Shore YMCA celebrated our 35th Annual Charity Golf Tournament on Monday, October 12th, 2026, at the Clinton Country Club. It was a beautiful day on the course, and every swing, every sponsor, and every volunteer made a real difference for our community. Thank you to all who came out and helped us strengthen the shoreline!

A special thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Whelen Engineering, for their continued generosity and commitment to the Valley Shore YMCA.

The 35th Annual Charity Golf Tournament brought together over 100 guests who share a common belief: that every person in our community deserves access to programs that save lives, build confidence, and create a safer, healthier shoreline. From swim safety to youth development, your support fuels it all.

Thank you for our Major Sponsors for supporting our event and community:

To our sponsors, golfers, volunteers, and staff, thank you for making this event one to remember. We’ll see you on the course next year!

Looking for a chance to volunteer in your community? YMCA events are held with three areas of focus in mind. Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility. Volunteering for a Y event is a great way to give back to the community!

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.
