We welcomed over 150 kids and their families to take part in free sports clinics, yoga classes, cooking demos, fun "Get Moving!" activities, and to discover healthy tips and ideas at the Wellness Fair!
The GaGa Pit was a gauntlet of champions, the soccer and basketball clinics inspired us to bring the programs to PS/IS187, Bubby's Kitchen shows us all how delicious healthy cooking can be, The Bizzaro Agency kept the Snack Shack stocked with healthy snacks, and all our wonderful partners and volunteers made KidFit 2018 a true wellness discovery zone!
We would especially like to thank all our Program Partners that so graciously donated their time and expertise to the event. Please scroll below to check out all the amazing and talented KidFit 2018 program participants. They truly helped make KidFit a super fun event.
And, last but not least, KidFit would not have been possible without the generosity of the YM&YWHA! We are beyond grateful to have such an amazing partner and look forward to organizing KidFit 2019 on February 3rd, 2019!
Thank you, and see you next year!
