Under the theme “Blueprints of Our Future,” this year’s gala will serve to rekindle our capital campaign. Our focus is set on the construction of a new YMCA in Barrie. Envisioned as a dynamic “hub,” this innovative facility will host traditional YMCA programs and incorporate offerings from esteemed partners like Youth Haven and the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre.

This special event isn’t just a night to dress up and have fun – it’s a reflection of how much we care about our communities.

We’re thrilled to have renowned comedian and YMCA supporter Adam Growe as our Emcee, ensuring a night of entertainment and laughter that will be unforgettable.

Local artists, including the talented band The Empties and caricature artist Linda Laforge, will showcase their talents, adding an artistic flair to the evening.  In addition to the fantastic entertainment, our gala will feature thrilling auctions, and, of course, we’ve got your taste buds covered with delicious food that will make this evening even more memorable.

Every pledge is a brick in the wall of progress, helping us create a better tomorrow for families in our area. This event is more than just one night – it’s the first stroke on the blueprint of our future that will guide us toward a community full of health, opportunity, and moments that bring us together.
