REQUEST FOR PARTNERS - Healthy Kids Day - Saturday, April 27, 2013 at Flagstaff Family YMCA from 10am-1pm


Dear Local Business and Organizations,

 

Several years ago the YMCA of the USA started an annual event to support the healthy growth and development of kids and families nationwide called Healthy Kids Day. This year the Flagstaff Family YMCA will be hosting our Healthy Kids Day event on Saturday, April 27, 2013 at Flagstaff Family YMCA from 10am-1pm.

We hope to make this truly a community event that really focuses on a healthy body, mind and spirit of the whole family. Our vision for this free event is to make it a fun and informative afternoon where families and people who live in Flagstaff can get information about activities, healthy living, nutrition and services available in our community and also have some fun, place some games and participate in demonstrations to learn new things.
