The Burbank Community YMCA’s (the Y) annual 5 and 10K Turkey Trot welcomes runners, joggers and walkers of all ages each Thanksgiving morning to launch the holiday season by giving back to our kids.
It is with the help of the community through the annual Turkey Trot that the Y can offer free youth programs. While the Y still provides summer camp and swimming lessons, we are also the proud home of Learn, Grow, Thrive and Power Scholars — two educational and enrichment programs developed to help close the achievement gap; Social Impact Center — a drop-in resource center for LGBTQIA+ youth, Camp Kaleidoscope for LGBTQIA+ summer camp for kids ages 12-18, and Youth and Government — an 8-month program created to help young people build confidence, find their voice, and learn about California state government.
This is your opportunity to have a great Thanksgiving morning and support our local community. Please register or donate today. For more information, please visit our website at burbankymca.org or email aalexandar@burbankymca.org. We hope we see you there!
