TO YOUR HEALTH

YMCAs Host Free Healthy Kids Day Events Across The City

In an annual celebration of health, all YMCAs across the city hosted free community events for Healthy Kids Day. The day featured food prep demos, family exercise activities, bounce houses, face painting, giveaways, and more.

Every location also promoted “civic health” by offering voter registration and education in collaboration with partners such as Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Brooklyn NAACP, Brooklyn Voters Alliance, Chinese Progressive Association, Dominicanos USA, League of Women Voters, LiveOnNY, MinKwon Center for Community Action, NALEO Educational Fund, NYC Votes, the Office of the NYC Public Advocate, the Office of the Queens Borough President, and Rockaway Women for Progress. •
