Kamloops Y prepares for annual Strong Kids Campaign
KAMLOOPS — Every year the Kamloops Y offers financial assistance to children and families in the community, which allows them to access the facilities and many programs the Y offers. The Y Strong Kids Campaign is just one way the organization raises money to fund these initiatives, and every year hosts a corporate challenge, where local businesses help raise money through a friendly fitness competition, and there’s still time to sign up.
For many us, taking part in sports or organized after-school activities as a kid was something we took for granted, but there are many families in our community that can’t afford to play hockey, go to camp in the summer. that’s where the Kamloops Y Strong Kids Campaign comes in.
“It’s about getting people involved, and getting donations so we can actually help children and families throughout Kamloops have access to programs at the Y,” Cheryl Breitkreutz, the Y Strong Kids Coordinator explained.
