YMCA’s ‘Taste of the Northwoods’ gala to be held May 1


The YMCA of the Northwoods is excited to present Taste of the Northwoods, a fresh reimagining of the Y’s Annual Gala, on Friday, May 1, beginning at 5 p.m. at The Pines Event Center in Rhinelander.

This revitalized gala experience brings together community members for an evening filled with local flavors, friendly competition, and mission-centered celebration — all designed to reflect the heart of the YMCA and its commitment to strengthening community.

Come hungry, leave happy, and support a great cause. Guests will sample locally inspired, hand-crafted bites from area culinary artists and cast their votes for the Best Bite of the Night, with local celebrity judges adding to the excitement.

The evening also features silent auctions, live auctions, raffle baskets, booze bonanza, 50/50 raffle, dancing and a cash bar.

The Y is for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Taste of the Northwoods is more than an enjoyable evening — it’s a powerful opportunity to uplift our community.

All proceeds support the YMCA of the Northwoods Annual Support Campaign, which:

• Provides scholarships so every child can participate in Y programs.

• Ensures access for all, regardless of financial circumstances.

• Strengthens families, health, and well-being.

• Builds belonging, connection, and opportunity throughout the Northwoods.

Event tickets are $60. 50/50 raffle tickets are $10 each or six for $50. Tickets are available at the YMCA or from any YMCA Board Member.

For more information, contact the YMCA of the Northwoods at 715-362-9622 or visit www.ymcaofthenorthwoods.org.
