Experience an inspiring evening at the 39th Annual Waynesboro YMCA Gala — a night where community, celebration, and impact come together.

Join us on October 17, 2025, from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at The Foundry in Waynesboro.

The theme this year is “Be the LYGHT,” honoring those who illuminate lives and uplift our community.

Enjoy a delicious dinner, live and online auctions, dueling piano entertainment brought to you by the dynamic duo of Piano Shows to Go, who will also be providing a DJ for attendees to dance the night away.

We’ll also recognize outstanding service with our awards for our Person of the Year, Volunteers of the Year, and Youth of the Year.

All proceeds from the Gala support the YMCA’s mission to foster youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility in our area.

Be part of the evening. Be part of the change. Be the LYGHT.

The Foundry is located at 1010 E. Main St. Waynesboro, VA 22980.

The Online Auction is Now Live!
