Legends Ball

OUR 19TH ANNUAL LEGENDS BALL: OCTOBER 15, 2024

We were proud to honor New England Patriots special teams standout Brenden Schooler with our 2024 Legends Award for his accomplishments on the field coupled with his commitment to giving back off the field. Brenden believes in our cause and our collective commitment to inclusion and community. We are proud to have Brenden as part of our YMCA family. He is a true champion for our Integration Initiative.

We celebrated the children, adults and families in our Integration Initiative and heard from Integration Initiative participant Niall Pike on the program’s impact on his life.

Emily Joyce received the 2024 Brock Award, presented annually to an Integration Initiative participant whose growth, confidence, poise and accomplishments exemplify why inclusion isn’t just important, it’s the greatest gift anyone can give another person.

All proceeds from the Legends Ball benefit the Hockomock Area YMCA’s Integration Initiative, a program providing children, teens and adults with special needs and their families an opportunity to be included in all aspects of our YMCA community.

An Amazing Night!
