YMCA Healthy Kids Day
HKD is our national initiative to improve the health and well-being of children.
Healthy Kids Day is a FREE event and open to the public! Join us, March 23, 2024! Healthy Kids Day brings hundreds of families and their parents together at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse for games, fun activities and, for our Junior Cavs participants, some time on the same court the Cleveland Cavaliers compete on for their games!
What is the purpose of HKD?
Everyone wants healthy children. Yet communities vary considerably in their commitment to children's collective health and the resources that they make available to meet their needs. One in five children in the U.S. is obese, and when summertime hits, kids are often idler. Research shows that kids fall behind academically and gain weight twice as fast without access to out-of-school physical and learning activities. It is vital that we guide the development of good habits in our children they will use in and out of school. That’s where your YMCA plays an important role.
How can I get involved?
The YMCA is looking for vendors for our Healthy Kids Day event in March. Does your business cater to children or parents? You might be interested in becoming a vendor. HKD is the perfect way to advertise directly to your target audience, and build relationships with prospective customers. Apply to be a vendor, by registering before March 8!
Event Schedule
BEFORE: Vendors may access the concourse beginning at 11:00am via the Cliffs Entrance.

YMCA Annual Campaign
Contributions to the YMCA Annual Campaign allow us to provide the opportunities needed to create stronger and healthier families and communities. With nearly 170 years of service to the community, the Y, in partnership with our supporters, offers the chance of a lifetime to the people who need it most within Northeast Ohio. In addition to health and wellness, the Y provides critical programs and services to more than 230,000 people every year. With the help of generous donors, we teach youth safety around water, provide transitional housing for homeless adults and those recovering from addiction, distribute healthy meals to school-age youth, and offer childcare in over 15 locations. Donations to our Annual Campaign ensure everyone has a chance to succeed and belong at the Y.
