Fundraising
Stars, Stripes & Bids for Strong Kids
Saturday, April 25 | 5–9 p.m.
Arnolds Park Roof Garden Ballroom
Get ready for a star-spangled good time! In 2026, we’re celebrating 250 years of the USA, 175 years of the YMCA of the USA, and 26 years of the Okoboji YMCA—all in one unforgettable evening.
Enjoy delicious all-American bites, toe-tapping live music, open bar from 5-6PM, an entertaining fashion show, a guest speaker, and both silent and live auctions filled with patriotic fun. Dress in your best red, white, and blue (or a creative, themed costume!), gather your friends, and come ready to laugh, bid, and make a difference.
Every dollar raised helps ensure children and families in our community have access to YMCA programs such as youth sports, swim lessons, childcare, Camp Foster, and more. Let’s raise the flag—and some funds—together!
Open Bar: 5–6 p.m. (includes select beer, wine, and soda). Additional drinks available for purchase throughout the evening.

$60 per person
