More Than a Night Out - Supporting Our Local YMCA & Community
A Night in Monte Carlo is an elegant evening and community fundraiser benefiting the Palmer Ranch and Sarasota City YMCAs. While the evening promises a memorable night, its purpose extends well beyond the event itself by supporting the Y’s daily work in our community.
For many of us, the YMCA is familiar as a place for fitness, swimming, and recreation. But behind those programs is a much broader nonprofit mission: helping children thrive, supporting families, promoting health and well-being, and creating meaningful connections across generations.
Through financial assistance and community-supported programs, the Y works to make sure these opportunities are available to more people, regardless of their ability to pay.
