Kick back, relax and dance the night away at our annual benefit, Grillin’ & Chillin’ for Kids, on Saturday, Oct. 5 at beautiful Camp Arrowhead in Marlboro.
Led by co-chairs Carol Stillwell and Chris Mosley, the benefit will support the Y’s charitable mission to provide free and reduced program and membership fees to local children and families in need.
The special night under the stars will feature music by Pat Guadagno and Tim McLoone & The Shirleys. Festivities will begin with cocktails at 5 p.m. in the Carr Pavilion, followed by a gourmet barbeque and dancing under the Sunfield Pavilion, and ending with s’mores around the camp fire. The evening will include silent and live auctions, a 50/50 cash raffle, a wine toss and a camp favorite – archery.
