It's fun to play at the YMCA....
Thursday, August 07, 2008
As announced to IBOs a few weeks ago and to the world yesterday through Ada-Tudes and a news release, Amway Global is partnering with the YMCA on a series of programs designed to improve the wellness of Americans of all ages.
The program includes supporting the Y's Activate America® program, which addresses our nation's health crisis, and funding a consumer-education campaign to help empower people to improve their health and wellness. The sponsorship will provide grants to support wellness events and testing at up to 100 YMCAs during America On The Move Week in September and much more.
Why would we partner with the Y?
Because the Y reaches a lot of people. The Y is the nation's largest provider of after-school programs and youth sports. More than 21 million people participate in Y programs each year, including 10 million children. Millions more live or work near more than 2,600 YMCAs nationwide.
And it doesn't hurt that they have a theme song, either!
Look for more details about this program in the coming months.
