A Community Effort in Action!

The YMCA reinforces the importance of teaching the Purple Hands Pledge® to kids and families. Many parents shared they learned the Pledge in school, and continue to use this simple reminder with their families!
All expressed they were happy the Purple Hands Pledge® was being taught to their children.
