The Wanderlust Ball - Gala on Demand

The Wanderlust Ball Proceeds support individuals, children and families across the 25 communities the YMCA serves on the North Shore and into Southern New Hampshire.

YMCA of the North Shore Gala is coming in two parts due to the COVID pandemic this year! Part 1 is a virtual celebration happening in November 2021, with a live in-person celebration being planeed at the new Glen T. MacLeod Cape ann YMCA in Gloucester to follow in the Spring of 2022.

Part I

Register for the virtual celebration (Part 1) on November 18, 2021 and take part in a virtual celebration of the Y’s community and culture, while also inspiring everyone to support our Y with a gift, so that we can continue to say “yes” to all. Episodes: Inspiring and impactful video stories featuring many of our Y champions and supporters will be released on the event website during a designated block of time (schedule coming soon!)  

More Details:

  • Donations in support of our Y and the critical programs and services we provide can be made starting today on the OneCause event website!
  • Fun opportunities for matching donations and challenge donations will be available throughout the day on November 18th.
  • Register for FREE.
  • Share the link and encourage friends and family to register too!
  • Watch the episodes and learn why our champions support our Y.
  • The local Y who has the most registrants will receive a financial incentive specific to their Y.
  • If the local Y you select receives the most registrations, you will be entered into a drawing for a fabulous door prize!

Part II

A springtime, IN-PERSON, celebratory event! The date and details will be announced soon, but we are excited to hold this event at our new Glen T. MacLeod Cape Ann YMCA in Gloucester. Get your tickets today.
