Time: 6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Location: Greater Peoria Family YMCA
Join us for the 11th Annual Summer Soirée, an unforgettable evening of community, connection, and giving back. Enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres and beverages poolside while participating in exciting live and silent auctions, a wine pull, raffles, and more—all in support of local families in our community. Your generosity helps ensure that everyone has access to YMCA programs and services through scholarships and financial assistance, so no one is turned away because of an inability to pay. Together, we can continue creating opportunities for all to learn, grow, and thrive.
For many of the young people in our Teen REACH program, the YMCA is more than a place to go after school—it’s a place where they are encouraged, supported, and reminded of their potential. It’s where caring adults invest in them, where friendships are formed, and where confidence grows.
This year, we invite you to help make the Summer Soirée even more meaningful by welcoming a Teen REACH participant and their guardian to join us.
You can help in one of two ways:
• Open two seats at your table of 10 and invite a Teen REACH participant and their guardian to sit with you.
• Sponsor two tickets so a Teen REACH participant and their guardian can attend as our special guests.
Your generosity does more than provide a seat at an event—it creates an opportunity for a family to feel seen, valued, and celebrated. You’ll have the chance to meet some of the incredible young people whose lives are being shaped through YMCA programs and hear firsthand how your support helps create brighter futures.
Together, we can ensure that the families we serve are not just the reason we gather, but part of the celebration itself.
Because every young person deserves to know that their community believes in them. 💙
