Barbara C. Fitch, operations director of the Ruby YMCA, said the partnership allows all three institutions to combine resources to offer more to the community. Her favorite part of the evening is watching the faces of the children as they light up with excitement. 鈥湷扇耸悠�, The Town of Boiling Springs and Ruby C. Hunt YMCA partnering together has been my dream since becoming operations director of our Y in 2020,鈥� Fitch shared. 鈥淚 appreciate our partnership and look forward to more events in the future.鈥�

Madi Mamoone, GWU student body president, said the Student Government Association handed out candy to the children last year. 鈥淲e loved to see the children having fun with their families; the basketball team was directly across from us, so it was super fun to watch them shoot,鈥� she asserted. 鈥淚t was also super sweet to see all their costumes as well.鈥�

Samuel Ritner, a graduate assistant for Student Success, said the joy and laughter of all the children is contagious. 鈥淚 am so excited to get to be a part of Octoberfest again this year,鈥� he affirmed. 鈥淚 know we are there to make it fun for the kids, but I left feeling like I was more encouraged that any one of the kids!” 

Lacrosse player and graduate student, Victoria Fischetti, helped with a game sponsored by her team last year. 鈥淢y favorite highlight from that night was seeing the excitement each kid鈥攁nd sometimes even the parents鈥攇ot when they were given a lacrosse stick and shown how to shoot at the cage,鈥� she related. 鈥淥ctoberfest is one of my favorite ways that we give back to the community, because it emphasizes that small actions make a big impact.
