Armed Services YMCA Fort Leonard Wood
The ASYMCA Fort Leonard Wood hosts several events throughout the year designed to promote recognition, appreciation, or resiliency within our military community. These events often serve as a conduit of appreciation and education that links the civilian community with those who serve, ensuring an integrated community that enjoys a high level of support.
Patriot Day Festival is an all-inclusive, community-wide gathering and family fun day that brings service members & families stationed at Fort Leonard Wood together with our surrounding communities. This event focuses on patriotism, music, fellowship, and community, as we remember the tragic events which took place on September 11, 2001. Our vision is to recognize service and sacrifice and to honor all that we hold dear as a community and country.

The Armed Services YMCA of Missouri hosts an Annual Duck Race, a “Fun” Raiser to support the Armed Services YMCA. We are looking forward to the ducks strutting their stuff and go for ‘Best Dressed’. Then speed their way down the Roubidoux to be crowned the ‘Speediest Duck’.

We present a field of flags, arranged in the style of Arlington National Cemetery. In observance of Veterans Day, we will have the flags placed in USO Chimney Park in St Robert, MO. This gives us an opportunity to honor all those we consider HEROES in our lives. All proper flag etiquette will be rendered, including having the field properly lit at night.

Daddy and Daughter—it’s one of the strongest bonds in life—and this precious relationship is a powerful first exposure to self-esteem. It sets the scene for how they feel they should be treated, making fathers hugely important when it comes to their daughter’s early self-worth. The Father Daughter Dance is an opportunity for fathers to spend precious time with their daughters, strengthen the father-daughter bond, and create memories that last a lifetime.
Next Dance Coming In Oct 2025!
