The making of a community event:
Jeff Brantner, Deputy Director of the Yakima Greenway Foundation, saw an opportunity when FitKids organizers approached him about hosting a family fitness day at the Greenway. Brantner had already been working with the Central Washington University Dietetic Interns Family Fitness Walk and was wise enough to see that with the resources available from the CWU dieticians, FitKids fitness experts, the Greenway venue, staff and the Gap 2 Gap crew, Family Field Day could be a complete family fitness event for the Yakima Valley!
FitKids would like to thank Jeff Brantner & Al Brown of Yakima Greenway Foundation and Linda Cashman and the Central Washington University Dietetic Interns for their partnership in this event.
Remember... families that play together stay together! Come out and play May 1st at the 5th Annual Family Field Day!
