Pasadena YMCA Healthy Kids Day

On Saturday, April 28, 2012 the Pasadena Y is celebrating Healthy Kids Day with a free community event for kids and families in the city of Sierra Madre and surrounding communities. More than 1900 Y's across the country are taking part in the celebration, meant to kick start physical activity and learning throughout the summer. Healthy Kids Day is a national initiative of the Y to improve the health and well-being of kids, is filled with fun, active play and educational activities that will help parents improve their kids' lifestyles for the long term. Research shows that without access to activities that stimulate the mind and body, kids are more prone to gain weight and fall behind academically over the summer months.
