THE BASKET BALL

Greetings 2020 Basket Ball Sponsors, Vendors and Volunteers,

We hope this message finds you and your families well and your businesses and lives moving back towards a more normal operation. We want to thank you for your continued support of your YMCA, ensuring we can continue to serve the youth, seniors and families of Bismarck/Mandan, in overall health and wellness.

As you know, we were forced to cancel our Basket Ball event in 2020. With the ongoing uncertainty of the COVID situation, we unfortunately have not been able to yet determine a safe, effective event date for 2021. Last year, we had hoped to hold the event on the same March weekend this year, but our staff, committee and many supporters, are still not comfortable with putting together a large, in person, indoor gathering. 

As a result, we are looking at restructuring this event, to have an outdoor, backyard BBQ/tailgate party type fundraiser, with delicious food and beverages, exciting games, activities and entertainment, live and silent auctions, special guests and a great time for all involved. We are hoping to hold this event in late August (though earlier in the summer may be a possibility) and will let everyone know as soon as the date is finalized. 

Regardless, we are optimistic by that time, more folks will feel safe and comfortable joining us for a fun and festive get together, celebrating our strong supporters and our special "Y for All" community programs!

No matter when we will come back together, we want you to know how grateful we are for your continued generosity and your support of your YMCA and the community we serve. YOU are the YMCA, and in whatever capacity, we are so honored and humbled to share our success with you. 

Please contact Ally Carson at ally.carson@bismarckymca.org or 701-751-9710 for more information. Thank you for all you do, and we look forward to seeing you all again soon! 

BIG HUGE BASKET BALL THANK YOU TO OUR 2020 EVENT SPONSORS:
