Race Beneficiary
Since 1993, we have raised over $115,000 for various local charities through our Annual Angino Memorial Road Race & Family Field Day.
This year, we will use a portion of the proceeds to honor two YMCA families, the Heilbrons and the McCarthys. We plan to donate in memory of Joseph Heilbron to The Jimmy Fund and in memory of Bill McCarthy, Jr. to the Neuro-Oncology Research Fund at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. The remaining funds raised will benefit our annual Partners with Youth campaign, which aids YMCA children and families in need.

SNAG Golf (Ages 4 to 10)
Falling somewhere between miniature golf and regulation golf, SNAG® allows for full shots, pitching, chipping, and putting. The SNAG BallTM has a limited distance, with the average player launching it a maximum of 50 yards. The key is in simplifying the instruction so that it can be an effective transition into the game of golf.
The SNAGTM Golf teaching method removes the frustration out of learning golf for little ones. The equipment helps your young golfer learn to take full shots, pitch, chip and putt. The colorful and easy-to-use clubs keep the kids interested and the tennis "golf" balls help them learn to hit the ball with ease. Instead of aiming at a small hole your child can barely see, he or she aims at colorful cones and targets.
