Tomorrow, 1,900 YMCAs across the country will be hosting Healthy Kids Day events. Healthy Kids Day is a national initiative focused on improving the health and well-being of children. According to a Healthy Kids Day press release, the day “is filled with fun, active play and educational activities that will help parents improve their kids’ lifestyles for the long term.”

Check out the YMCA’s website to see if these events are happening in your neighborhood.

If you are a frequent reader of Sip & Savor, then you might know about our partnership with the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM). Through a series of grants, we are supporting community programs focused on combating childhood obesity in a comprehensive way.  In fact one of the grant winners, the City of Lima, is partnered with the Lima Family YMCA to develop healthy eating hubs, nutrition classes and more.

We hope you’ll get out there and participate in these activities.  And if you do, be sure to let us know how it goes by sending us a message on Facebook and Twitter!
