\"YMCA<\/a><\/sup><\/strong>The YMCA of the Greater Tri-Valley will join YMCAs across the country to celebrate Healthy Kids Day Saturday, April 30, at the Rome Family Y, 301 W. Bloomfield St., Rome, and the Oneida Family Y, 701 Seneca St., Oneida. The free family event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon.<\/span>\u00a0Families and individuals who join the Y during Healthy Kids Day weekend, Friday, April 29, through Sunday, May 1, will not have to pay the Capitol Improvement Fee, or joiner\u2019s fee.<\/p>\n

YMCA\u2019s 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 \u2013 a critical out-of-school time for kids\u2019 health. When kids are out of school, they can face hurdles \u2013 or gaps \u2013 that prevent them from reaching their full potential, related to hunger, water safety, learning, safe spaces to play, and health. Each year, the Y helps over 9 million youth nationwide \u201chop the gap\u201d and achieve more, providing a safe to place to learn, stay healthy and build friendships.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to Healthy Kids Day each April,\u201d said Stephanie Neff, Multi-Team Leader at the Oneida Family Y. \u201cThis is a great chance to highlight fun activities at the Y that are aimed at keeping your mind, body and spirit active and healthy all summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Children and their families can participate in events and activities and enter to win raffle prizes, free entry into YMCA youth programming, register for summer day camp and be entered to win a free week. All classes and programs at the Rome Family Y and Oneida Family Y are free and open to the public all day.<\/p>\n

Healthy Kids Day at the Oneida Family Y will conclude with the Changing Lives Walk at noon. This annual 5K walk supports the Y\u2019s Changing Lives Campaign which provides financial assistance ($180,000 annually) to those in need for Y programs and memberships.
