The 34th Annual Paul Ecke, Jr. Poinsettia Ball held at the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA

Supporters embraced the spirit of the holidays at the 34th Annual Paul Ecke, Jr. Poinsettia Ball at the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA. Celebrating what would have been Paul Ecke, Jr.’s 100th birthday, this year’s elegant holiday tradition transformed the gymnasium into a beautifully festive “Midwinter Night’s Dream,” raising funds in support of youth and families in the community.

Located in Encinitas, the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA has been working to strengthen and unite the community for more than 55 years. Dedicated to empowering people to be healthier in spirit, mind, and body, the Y believes a strong community can only be achieved when we invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors.
