Buehler YMCA Miles for Smiles 2025

Get ready to embrace the "lucky number seven" at our 7th Annual Buehler YMCA Miles for Smiles event! This year, we're supporting youth in our community with a fun and engaging event that offers something for everyone. Whether you prefer running, walking, biking, swimming, Zumba, strength training, playing pickleball, or any other activity, your participation will help us achieve our three exciting goals! 

We are excited to share that if our community comes together to complete seven different activities, if 77 participants each log at least one mile, and if we collectively reach a total of 777 miles by February 22, 2025, we will unlock an additional $5,000 donation. Let's make this milestone a reality for our community! 

How to Get Involved 

Get Moving: Join us in any physical activity you enjoy and help us log miles towards our goal. Whether it's a 5K run, a bike ride, a swim, or a group ex class, every mile counts!  

Track Your Miles: Track your activity and log your miles to contribute to our collective goal. To track your miles, take a selfie and tag the Buehler YMCA and/or Miles for Smiles Facebook pages, or visit the front desk to enter into our tracker!   

Make a Donation: Consider making a tax-deductible contribution to support our cause. Your donation will help us reach our fundraising goal of $17,777, with all funds supporting Buehler YMCA programs and services. 

Spread the Word: Help us amplify our mission by sharing this event with your friends and family. Follow Miles for Smiles and the Buehler YMCA on Facebook, share our posts, and tag us in your own content to encourage others to join in and support the Buehler Y community. 

Thank you for helping us strengthen the Palatine and surrounding communities one mile at a time! Let's make this year's Miles for Smiles the best one yet!
