YMCA Hosts 33rd Annual Healthy Kids Day Across Multiple Locations April 26

YMCA locations across the country are hosting their annual Healthy Kids Day events on April 26, offering free, family-friendly activities aimed at promoting healthy habits and active lifestyles for children and their families. Events at various YMCAs, including those in Marion, Western North Carolina, and Alexandria, feature activities such as fun runs, games, healthy cooking demonstrations, arts and crafts, and fitness classes. Healthy Kids Day is part of the YMCA's national initiative to improve health and well-being, especially during the summer when children are out of school and may be at risk for academic and physical setbacks. The events emphasize the importance of keeping kids physically active, engaged, and healthy year-round. Community partners and local organizations are also participating to provide health resources and educational opportunities for families. The YMCA encourages all families to attend and take advantage of the programs designed to foster a lifetime love of physical activity.
