10KATO RUNSTRONG RACE

LiveStrong at the YMCA is designed to help cancer survivors move beyond cancer in spirit, mind and body through physical activity and overall wellness. Proceeds from the race benefit the LiveSTRONG program; a twelve-week, small group program designed for adult cancer survivors that puts the focus on the individual's health and not just the disease.

ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT

Registration Coming Soon
The Mankato Family YMCA's Golf Tournament is a key fundraiser for our youth programs, with sponsorships as the main source of funds. Sponsorship packages provide ample publicity for your business or organization as well as support for YMCA youth activities year-round, from teaching a child to swim to helping a teen learn to lead and feel success. Every child deserves a chance to realize their full potential. It's a fantastic day to dust off your clubs and get in a round with friends and associates. Fees include green fees, golf cart, lunch, dinner and prizes.

Monday, June 20
North Links Golf Course
Shotgun at 1:00 p.m.
