FOR HEALTHY LIVING
boys with staff and basketballLast month we introduced you to the first of our our three areas of focus: For Youth Development. This month we'd like to share about our second area of focus: For Healthy Living.

 

Behind "For Healthy Living" is the fact that across the nation and right here in Virginia, the Y is a leading voice on health and well-being. With a mission centered on balance, the Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, millions of youth, adults and families receive the support, guidance and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for their spirit, mind and body.

FESTIVAL OF THE TREES CELEBRATION

What better way to usher in the holiday season than good food, great shopping and the opportunity to dress up to support a worthy community cause! 

 

On Friday, November 19th, join us at the William and Mary Alumni House for a silent auction, beginning at 7:00 p.m. and a live auction at 9:30 p.m.  Themed trees, holiday spirits and heavy hors d'oeuvres complete the evening. Black tie is optional. This would make a great Christmas present for a friend or family member, one that you won't need to wrap.

 

Tickets are $45/person and proceeds benefit the YMCA Strong Communities Campaign which provides scholarships to families in our programs.  This evening is for adults only. PDF

 

For more information call (757) 229-9622 x 206 or email festivalofthetrees@peninsulaymca.org
