“Every year we look forward to launching our YMCA Strong Communities Campaign with our favourite kickoff event, the Strong Communities Cycle Challenge,” says Eunice Kirkpatrick, Chief Executive Officer, YMCA Northumberland.
“The funds raised throughout the year are used to help people in our communities lead healthier lives, no matter their financial background.
Through our many programs, including Child Care, Health and Fitness, Aquatics, and Camp, we are helping people of all ages and stages in their journey to better health. The Strong Communities Cycle Challenge is a great way to raise awareness about the benefits YMCA Northumberland brings to Northumberland County while providing opportunities for our community
members to come together to socialize and experience some high energy fun activities.”
