(Frisco, Texas – April 21, 2016) The Frisco Family YMCA invites the community to come celebrate Healthy Kids Day, the Y’s national initiative to improve the health and well-being of kids. More than 1,600 Y’s across the country will participate, holding free community events that are open to all kids and families and filled with fun activities and educational opportunities.

The Frisco Family YMCA event will be 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday, April 30 at their facility, 3415 W. Main St., Frisco, TX 75034. There will be a Family Challenge Course, bounce house, face painting, prizes and giveaways, and a host of community vendors including Texas Scottish Rite Hospital, First Choice ER, Eldorado Smiles, Simply Fit Meals, Pediatric Specialists of Plano, and Texan Credit Union. Discover helpful information about the Y’s Know Before You Go initiative, Diabetes prevention, youth fitness programs, toddler programs, summer camps, youth sports, and Adventure Guides.

Whether families are members of the Y or not, everyone is welcome to experience Healthy Kids Day at the Frisco Family Y in order for children to develop and maintain healthy habits and academic skills to achieve goals and reach their full potential. Studies show that kids are less physically active and engaged in learning during the summer months, and that children gain weight two to three times faster during summer vacation during the school year. The Frisco Y encourages everyone to get up, get moving, and enjoy Healthy Kids Day!
