Healthy Kids Day is the Y's national initiative to improve the health and well-being of families across the country. On this day, Ys hold events and encourage parents to make play days with their kids every day as a simple way to become a healthier, more active and connected family.

At a time when one in three children and the majority of adults in the United States are overweight or obese (according to the Centers for Disease Control), developing healthier habits, that include increased physical activity, is more important than ever. As a leading nonprofit for healthy living, the Y holds Healthy Kids Day to teach good health for kids and inspire a lifetime of physical activity.

The Y knows that many parents struggle to find the time and resources to incorporate physical activity and healthy habits into their kids' daily routine. By making time for active play every day, families can work together, have fun and achieve greater health and well-being for their spirit, mind and body.
