SEASONAL EVENTS

Annual Golf Classic

Our annual Golf Classic takes place every June at a local country club. In 2025, we will be celebrating our 22nd annual event! Funds raised support scholarship assistance for our members, so no one is ever turned away due to their inability to pay. Sponsorships help make this event possible.

Lemonade Stand at the Dubuque County Fair

We would like to thank our 2024 volunteers for making our lemonade stand a success! We will see you for the 2025 DBQ Fair.

The YMCA has been running a lemonade stand at the Dubuque County Fair for decades and it is run completely by volunteers! Every July, dozens of volunteers sign up for our collectible volunteer shirts and to help us sell our famous, fresh squeezed lemonade. Funds raised support scholarship assistance for our members, so no one is ever turned away due to their inability to pay.

Glimmer of Hope

Save the date for this year’s event, Thursday, October 24, 2024 at Hotel Julien!

Every October, the YMCA’s Glimmer of Hope committee puts on an annual event to support Dubuque Y Crisis Services. The Y’s Crisis Services provides temporary emergency shelter & supportive services to victimized women and their families, so they have the protection and freedom to live safely in our community. Sponsorships help make this event possible along with community participation and donations.
