The Prince George YMCA is gearing up to launch the second Strong Kids campaign.
This year, staff and volunteers have set a goal of raising $10,250 to send 60 under-privileged
children to Camp Kanannaq this summer.
Family YMCA staff have organized a month of fun events beginning Feb. 15 to raise money and awareness for children, teens and families who are unable to afford the full cost of participation in a YMCA program or activity.
From Feb. 15 to March 16, you can satisfy your nacho cravings and help raise money. For every order of nachos sold at Shooters Bar and Grill, Shooters Sports Bar, BX Pub and College Heights Pub, the businesses will donate $1 to the Strong Kids campaign.
On Feb. 16, grab a partner and sign up for the first annual Pickleball tournament between 5:30 and 9:30 p.m. at the Massey Drive gym. Entry fee is $20 per team.
Spend Saturday, Feb. 25 skating for Strong Kids between noon and 2 p.m. at the Colisuem or participate in a cycle-a-thon at the gym on March 3. Between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., a $10 donation gets you on a bike with one of the YMCA's cycle instructors.
March 10 will get lively with a Zumba-a-thon.
There will also be a silent
auction.
Everyone who participates in the events gets entered to win a three-month membership to the Y.
