SOMEA is proud to sponsor the annual Duck Race on Memorial Day through the South Mountain YMCA! It’s more than just a day of local tradition and cheering on hundreds of rubber ducks down the river, it’s a race toward a stronger community. All of the money raised goes directly to the Y’s Financial Assistance Program, giving local families access to vital childcare, summer camp, sports, and enrichment classes.
