Saturday, the crew turned out to clean up the soccer field, erect the lights and stands and oil up the chain saws. Sunday, we unloaded and staged our first tree delivery. The Saturday after Thanksgiving, sales begin!
Westfield Y Men’s Club Prepares for Holiday Community Service
Established in 1947, the Westfield Y’s Men’s Club has been operating for over 60 years. Our club has been very successful by selling Christmas Trees as our primary fundraising method. Since the beginning of the club:
- We have raised over $2,000,000 for community charitable grants.
- At approximately three tractor-trailer loads per year, the number of trees sold by the Y’s Men would fill Giants Stadium!
The Westfield Y Men’s Club is a group of men who raise money for charitable causes and socialize together.
Our Mission
- To function as a service club for the YMCA and area youth
- To support worthy organizations
Values
- Have fun – through the club you can meet people and make life-long friends.
- Cultivate fellowship, integrity, and volunteerism – we believe that it’s important to give back to the community.
- Mutual respect – we are an inclusive club and welcome anyone who shares the above values and interests regardless of faith, race, origin or
