YMCA of South Florida’s Annual Beach Ball Gala

The YMCA of South Florida is making waves this fall with its annual Beach Ball Gala on Saturday, October 4 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, 1 Seminole Way in Hollywood. Kicking off at 6:30 p.m. and themed “Olympian Tides”, the Beach Ball benefits the water safety and drowning prevention initiatives at the YMCA.

One of the hottest events of the season, the Beach Ball Gala brings together more than 600 passionate community leaders, advocates, and supporters to raise critical funds that help save lives. Guests will enjoy a cocktail reception, dinner, live musical entertainment, dancing and a live and silent auction during this enchanting evening filled with inspiration, entertainment and purpose.

All proceeds support financial assistance for the Y’s aquatics programs, which include free and subsidized swim lessons for underserved youth, wet and dry safety lessons, Swim for Jenny and resources for families to prevent drowning tragedies. With Florida still leading the nation in child drownings, the Y is committed to making sure every child and family has access to swim lessons, education and safe aquatic experiences, regardless of their background or ability to pay.
