The Family YMCA of the Desert is excited to announce the return of its beloved tradition, the 37th Annual Hoedown at Sundown. This vibrant community event is set to take place on Saturday, November 2, 2024, at the beautiful Indian Wells Country Club.
The Hoedown in Paradise has become a staple in our community, anticipated each year by community members and supporters of the Family YMCA. Attendees can look forward to a lively evening filled with camaraderie, cocktails, and comedy by our Entertainer/Auctioneer, Adam Voss. Cocktails will be accompanied by live music and fun activation stations that will have you saying yeehaw and cheers to the community! The event will have live and silent auctions with wonderful prizes, and guests will savor a delicious western menu, especially prepared by the accomplished culinary chefs at Indian Wells Country Club.
“Our Hoedown event is a celebration of community spirit, impact, and togetherness,” said Paula Simonds, CEO at the Family YMCA. “It’s a memorable time to come together, have fun, and support our YMCA’s wonderful programs for youth; Early Childhood Education through our licensed child development centers, day camps, Camp Oakes, overnight camps, sports, swimming.”
The annual Hoedown event serves as an important fundraiser for the Family YMCA of the Desert. Proceeds from the evening will directly benefit the YMCA’s initiatives, which provide an array of program services for children and financial assistance for families in need.
