Will your Y Get $250,000 for Free Fitness and Wellness Programs? 

The Peninsula Metropolitan YMCA has applied for a grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project, and the only way we can get it is if you vote for us.  Our project, "Activate the Peninsula," will ensure fitness, nutrition, and cooking education programs for everyone in our community, as well as fitness education for all children in our child care and child/youth watch programs.
