The Hoedown at Sundown is the Family YMCA of the Desert’s signature annual fundraiser. This lively western themed celebration brings together community members, partners, and supporters for a night of fun, entertainment, auctions, and connection. Each year, attendees enjoy an unforgettable evening filled with camaraderie and generosity as they help uplift local families and celebrate the YMCA’s mission

This annual fundraiser event directly supports the YMCA’s mission of empowering children and families across 10 program sites throughout the valley. Funds raised help provide access to licensed child care, Early Childhood Education, youth sports, camps, aquatics, and character-building programs rooted in the Y’s core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. By attending, sponsoring, or donating, guests play a vital role in ensuring local youth have a safe, supportive place to learn, grow, and thrive.
