6th Annual Casco Bay YMCA Adaptive services Auction - March 29, 2008, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.

All proceeds from this event will go towards the Casco Bay Y's Adaptive Services Program - supporting individuals living with illnesses, injuries and disabilities. The Y provides one-on-one and small group support services to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, is able to both enjoy the YMCA to its fullest and to remain physically and socially active. Because participants in this program do not pay for these services, the funds raised through this auction are readily put to good use!

The Greater Portland YMCA is proud to present the 27th Annual YMCA Peaks-to-Portland Swim, the 2.4 mile swim from Peaks Island to the East End Beach. This swim provides an opportunity for swimmers to challenge their physical and mental abilities, while at the same time raising money for the Cumberland County YMCA's Annual Support Campaign, providing needed financial assistance for youth, adults and families.

The 27th Annual YMCA Peaks-to-Portland Swim will be held on Saturday, July 19th, 2008 at approximately 8:30 am, with an alternate date of Sunday, July 20th, 2008. In the case of poor weather or fog, the YMCA may impose a 1 hour delay for the start of the event

All participants must qualify by swimming one mile in 32 minutes and 30 seconds or less at their local YMCA or other applicable pool.

Swimmers who successfully completed either the 2006 or 2007 YMCA Peaks-to-Portland swim do not need to do a qualifying swim. Download the form here.
