Thank you to everyone who came out yesterday to the @baierlfamily_y for such an amazing event, especially Chris Draft for the time he spent connecting with every person in the room.
From sharing his story to speaking one-on-one with our LIVESTRONG participants, Chris reminded us what this program is truly about—connection, community, and showing up for one another.
Now, the challenge has been issued to YMCAs across the country doing incredible LIVESTRONG work… who will step up?
4 Quarters of Change starts now.
🖤💛 Wear Your Black & Gold and join us for an unforgettable afternoon at the Y!
