On Saturday, April 29 the Lincoln YMCA is celebrating Healthy Kids Day, the YMCA’s national initiative aimed at improving the health and well-being for kids and families.
The event is from 10AM-12PM at the Copple Family YMCA, located at 8700 Yankee Woods Dr. The event is free. While there attendees will be able to participate in healthy activities, kid-friendly fitness demos, a 1-mile fun run, face painting, raffle drawings, and community vendors onsite.
“It’s so important for kids to stay active over the summer, both physically and mentally,” shared Kelsey Fincham, Copple Family YMCA executive director. “Healthy Kids Day is a fun, free event that encourages families to take advantage of all the great summer resources that the Y and other community organizations have to offer.”
The YMCA hopes to use the day to get more kids moving, learning, and creating healthy habits that they can continue while away from the classroom. Healthy Kids Day is a reminder to families that the Y can help ensure all children have access to what they need to reach their full potential, even during out-of-school time.
