Families gathered at YMCAs across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) February 21st, 2011 to celebrate Family Day and kick off the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, which raises money so more kids can participate in life-enhancing YMCA programs.

“The YMCA is like a second home to me,” said Alex, a YMCA Academy student who has benefited from the Strong Kids Campaign. ”I’ve been able to discover my skills and passions, meet new friends and accomplish more than I ever thought I could.“
