YMCA Annual Gala

A Night With Purpose

The YMCA of Alaska Gala is an annual celebration that brings together community leaders, supporters, and partners to strengthen the impact of the Y across our state. This special evening highlights the programs and people who make a difference for youth, families, and individuals in Anchorage, Mat-Su, and Kodiak. Guests enjoy meaningful stories, community connection, and a shared commitment to building healthier, stronger communities.

Proceeds from the Gala support YMCA programs that expand access, remove barriers, and create opportunities for all. From youth development and child care to health and wellness initiatives, the Gala helps ensure the Y can continue serving those who need it most. Together, we celebrate generosity, connection, and the power of community coming together for good.
