Santa Fe Fundraising Dinner Auction

At the YMCA of Central New Mexico, we believe lasting personal and social change happens when we work together—investing in our children, our health, and our neighbors. Strengthening our community is our cause. Every day, we nurture the potential of youth, promote healthy living, and foster a sense of social responsibility.
On October 9th, we will host our annual Terry Dunn Memorial Fundraising Dinner in Santa Fe, and we invite you to be part of this important event. Your support—through donated auction items, purchasing a dinner ticket, or sponsorship—will directly impact families and individuals in Central New Mexico.
Each year, the YMCA of Central New Mexico serves more than 16,000 individuals, including over 5,000 youth in after‑school care, sports, and character‑building programs. This is made possible by 800 volunteers and over $322,000 in financial aid, ensuring that every family has the opportunity to participate.
Proceeds from this event will help:
- Provide early learning and preschool access, preparing children for lifelong success.
- Offer scholarships to Camp Shaver in the Jemez Mountains, ensuring no child is turned away for financial reasons.
- Help families join the Y and grow stronger together.
- Supply meals and snacks to children in our programs.
- Empower adults to make lasting lifestyle changes for better health.
Our community faces new challenges every day, and your generosity makes it possible for the Y to meet them. Together, we can create opportunities, remove barriers, and strengthen lives.
