The annual Healthy Kids Day® took place on May 4, 2024 from 10am to 2pm at the Statesboro Family YMCA. This free event was open to the public and aimed to promote health and fun for kids and families as they prepared for summer. The day was filled with various activities to engage both children and adults.
The event featured family field day activities, group fitness demonstrations, vendor booths, water activities, bounce houses, and more. Free fruit was also distributed at the event. Hannah Beggs, Executive Branch Director at the Statesboro Family YMCA emphasized that the day was all about kids having fun and enjoying themselves in a safe and healthy environment.
The goal of the event was to encourage physical activity and healthy eating habits among children while providing a free and secure space for them to play within the community.
