Celebrating What Makes Kids Special
Join us for a day of healthy, fun activities that celebrate kids being kids! We want to encourage kids to build healthy habits and have fun at the same time. Healthy Kids Day takes place at all of our locations on Saturday, May 2 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Check out some of the great things you can do at our Lockport, Southtowns, Ken-Ton, William-Emslie, and Independent Health branches.
Healthy Kids Day is the YMCA's annual celebration of children and families. For over 30 years, the YMCA has hosted Healthy Kids Day, which is aimed to improve the health and well-being of kids and families and to inspire them to keep their minds and bodies active through the summer months and beyond. This event is free and open to all in the Western New York community.
