YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day, the Y’s national initiative to improve health and well-being for kids and families, will feature a fun-filled day full of games, arts and crafts, fitness, healthy foods, educational activities, performance, prizes, giveaways, and more to motivate and teach families how to develop a healthy routine at home. YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day, celebrated at nearly 1,300 Ys across the country, aims to get more kids moving and learning so they can keep up the habit all summer long--a critical out-of-school time for kids’ health. When kids are out of school, they can face hurdles, or gaps, that prevent them from reaching their full potential. Each year, the Y helps over nine million youth nationwide achieve more by providing a safe place to learn, get healthy and build friendships. The Torrance-South Bay YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day takes place at 2900 West Sepulveda Boulevard. This special annual event is free and open to the community. The first 400 kids who attend will receive a Healthy Kids Day t-shirt. New members who join during Healthy Kids Day weekend will also benefit from free Joining Fees. Healthy Kids Day is supported by Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center Torrance. For more information, contact Isaac Gardner, Healthy Lifestyles Director and event coordinator, at 310-325-5885 or visit www.ymcaLA.org/tsb.
