A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us at Arcola Country Club for the Ridgewood YMCA’s 53rd Annual Charity Golf Outing!

It was a wonderful day on the course, filled with great golf, great company, and incredible support for our Y. And while the weather may have taken a dramatic turn later in the evening, it seemed the only thing that wasn’t dampened was the spirit of our guests!

Thank you for making this year’s outing another unforgettable success!

We’re deeply grateful to our generous sponsors, supporters, and golfers who help keep our mission strong—fostering youth development, promoting healthy living, and encouraging social responsibility. Thanks to you, the Ridgewood Y continues to be a place where our community can thrive. We’ll see you again in 2027!
