Melissa runs the Boston Marathon

Date(s): Apr 15, 2024

Event Description

We’re thrilled to announce that Melissa Starr will be running the 128th Boston Marathon on behalf of the West Suburban YMCA.

Melissa believes running 26.2 miles is nothing compared to the tireless efforts the staff, coaches and volunteers put in on a daily basis at the Y. Melissa has had the opportunity to coach YBA for several seasons. She appreciates how the Y welcomes community members of all ages and abilities, and that it is a place where everyone can feel success and belonging. Melissa has committed to raising $7,500 for our Annual Fund to ensure that the West Suburban YMCA will continue to develop amazing programs, like YBA, that provide an opportunity for all kids to find joy and connection.

WSYMCA Hosts Healthy Kids Day 2024 to Encourage Active Living and Learning for Families 

The West Suburban YMCA will hold Healthy Kids Day, a free community event, on Saturday May 11 from 2-4 pm. Healthy Kids Day will be held at the Church St Y at 276 Church St, Newton, MA. This annual event is part of the Y's nationwide initiative to improve the health and well-being of children and families. The Y aims to inspire kids to stay active, engaged, and learn while away from school, establishing healthy habits that can last a lifetime. 

Healthy Kids Day 2024 will offer a variety of fun and educational activities designed to keep children moving, exploring, and developing essential skills. The event will feature sports, arts and crafts, projects, snacks, and much more. Families attending the event will have the opportunity to connect with local community organizations and resources that support children's out-of-school learning and growth. Research indicates that children can face numerous obstacles during out-of-school time that hinder their academic, social, and physical development. Healthy Kids Day serves as a reminder that all children deserve the tools and opportunities to achieve their full potential, even when school is not in session.  

Healthy Kids Day 2024 at the Church Street Y is a free event open to the public, and all families in the Newton area are encouraged to attend.
