Join our Kids’ Flip Fest to Benefit the Hockomock Area YMCA

Kids Helping Kids

Gymnasts of all ages and abilities are learning the value of social responsibility as our popular Flip Fest returns to the Hockomock Area YMCA branches the entire week of May 18, 2023!

At the Y, we believe in the potential of all kids. And that all kids should have the opportunity to grow and learn at the Y, regardless of ability to pay. Not enrolled today in gymnastics? That’s not a problem, as everyone is eligible to participate.

“The Hockomock YMCA has been a blessing to us. If it were not for all the donations we would not be able to send our children to the Y. Even a small amount can make a difference. You can help children and families like us.” – scholarship recipient

HOW TO JOIN FLIP FEST

Ask others to support your efforts to enrich someone’s life right here in our community
Share that the YMCA is a charity and we do not turn people away due to lack of funds
100% of dollars raised will go to our Reach Out Annual Campaign
This is a great fundraiser, allowing kids to solicit donations based on the number of flips (or cartwheels, forward rolls, walkovers, etc.*) they perform during our Flip Fest (in gymnastics classes 5/18-5/24/23) or you may ask for a flat donation of any dollar amount
Once your pledge form is complete, come to the Y during the Flip Fest for counting
Non-participants in gymnastics classes may schedule their private flip count with a staff member. Please email: sandyw@hockymca.org (Foxboro), laceyw@hockymca.org (Franklin), or kayleas@hockymca.org (North Attleboro).
Our Flip Fest pledge forms are available for easy download.
