This event is part of the Y’s national initiative to improve the health and well-being of families across the country. On this day, Ys in DC, MD and VA hold events and encourage parents
to make play dates with their kids every day as a simple way to become a healthier, more active and connected family.

As a leading nonprofit for healthy living, the Y created Healthy Kids Day to celebrate and teach good health for kids, encourage active play and inspire a lifetime love of physical activity.
