Keeping Our Kids and Families Healthy and Happy
We’d like send out a big mahalo to all of you who participated in or attended the 2nd Annual YMCA Healthy Kids Day at the Bishop Museum. On April 17, over 5,000 attendees took part in fun physical activities, CPR training, health screenings, and much more at one of the nation’s largest health days for kids and families. Special thanks to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, our other sponsors and over 30 community and government organizations that helped make this event a big success.
