Cranford Calendar
As we have all heard, the COVID-19 pandemic is continuing to impact our society. For the safety of our guests, donors, volunteers, and students, the Foundation made the difficult decision to make this year’s Beach Ball Gala virtual. While we will be virtual, there are BIG plans in place to make this virtual gala a great time for our guests and a night to remember. We will be bringing back our virtual casino! This event is very special because we are honoring two important donors, DSM as our Corporate Partner of the Year and Mary Zimmermann, class of 2001, as our Fiat Lux award winner. We hope that you can join us on Thursday, February 24, 2022 at 6:00 PM to celebrate our wonderful honorees, while helping to ensure we have the ability to continue accelerating the pace of student success. For more information on this year’s exciting event, please call the Foundation office at 908.709.7505, e-mail us at [email protected] or click below to purchase your ticket today!
Last year’s event was a great success, helping those in our community including families hit hard by the pandemic by providing financial assistance for YMCA programs like child care and day camp. This year’s event promises to be even better! Join us!
Play golf? The play format is a scramble. Best drive off the tee, and everyone plays their own ball from there. Prizes are awarded for both team performance and individual games of skill for both men and women.
Don’t play golf? Come for part two of our day: Enjoy a cocktail hour and hors d’oeuvres beginning at 5:45 PM, a silent auction, dinner with additional cash bar service, and a live auction facilitated by Assemblyman Jon Bramnick.
Sponsorships are available and are tax-deductible. All sponsors will be prominently listed in promotional materials, press releases, event signage, and our Annual Report. Sponsors of $2,500 or more will be included on a large banner displayed all year in the Y gymnasium; will have the opportunity to display their corporate banner at the event and are welcome to attend the cocktail hour/dinner at no additional fee.
Have access to potential auction items? We are always seeking new items and experiences for our live and silent auction. If you have access to a vacation home, tickets to sporting events, concerts, theatre, or dining, give us a call! We send you a letter for your donation, and the proceeds help a family in need participate at the Y.

Join us for our 30th Annual Golf Outing on April 25, 2022. Your support of this year’s golf outing will have a generational impact on student success.

There’s still time to sign up for our annual golf outing supporting local scholarships and other programs. Sponsorships are also available for non-golfers who want to support our mission. Golf fees include lunch, snacks on the course, and dinner and drinks after.

Oktoberfest is about gathering, togetherness, and boisterous celebration. At a time full of sports, school, and scheduling conflicts, we find time to come together as a community to welcome in
the fall season.
This year, we are excited to hoist our tent, once again, at Union College on Saturday, October 7th, for the Cranford Jaycees’ Annual Oktoberfest Fundraiser!
Tickets include beer and wine in a souvenir mug, games, food vendors, and live music throughout the night. We’re excited to welcome back our headliner band Mushmouth, alongside NYC’s Street Beat Brass, bringing the authentic Oktoberfest sound.
All proceeds support the Cranford First Aid Squad and other local charities. Oktoberfest sells out yearly, so please purchase your tickets early.
Thank you for supporting Oktoberfest, the Jaycees, and the Cranford First Aid Squad. See you under the tent on Saturday, October 7th.
PROST!
