the Abington YMCA is encouraging all kids and parents in the Philadelphia community to come to the Y for a play date and commit to being active every day. It’s all part of the YMCA’s Healthy Kids Dayâ„¢ – the nation’s largest health day for families. The free event will take place at all YMCA of Philadelphia & Vicinity Y’s. During the event, there will be many activities and programs taking place at all Y’s.
As a leading nonprofit strengthening community through healthy living, the Y holds Healthy Kids Day to teach healthy habits to kids and inspire a lifetime love of physical activity. At a time when one in three children in the United States are overweight or obese (according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), developing healthier habits that include increased physical activity is more important than ever.
