140 YEARS IN EVANSTON

Thank you for making the Y140 Party an unforgettable celebration of 140 years of the McGaw YMCA!

On Saturday, January 24, 2026, our community came together for a true “night in the Town,” blending the style of our Galas with the nostalgia and energy of classic Y Parties. From DJ Corey Bless spinning hits across the decades to a photo booth, great food, and memory-filled moments at the ETHS Alumni yearbook station, the night was all about connection, joy, and impact.

Whether you’re a longtime supporter or joined us for the first time, your presence helped honor our past and power a brighter future for Evanston.

Thank you for coming for the cause — and partying with purpose.

Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!
