YMCA FUN RUN JUNE 5, 2010
Over 70 people came out in the hot sunshine to run 5K through hilly Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow on Sunday, June 5.
 Runners came from all over Westchester to help raise funds for the YMCA Julian Holden Geach Scholarship Fund, that helps send two underserved children to a full 10 weeks of summer camp at YMCA Camp Combe in Putnam Valley, and commemorates the life of former Y camper Geach. 
 

YMCA HEALTHY KIDS DAY APRIL 24, 2010

Congresswoman Nita Lowey stood on the lawn in the middle of Patriot’s Park In a clear, sunny Healthy Kids Day on April 24, 2010 and spoke to the almost 1000 participants on the importance of fighting the growing trend of childhood obesity with physical activity nutritional meals and snacks.  Later in the afternoon, State Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins met with Sleepy Hollow Middle School teens from the band Lyme, who were playing on the bandstand, and spoke to them and the crowd about teens using good judgment and making healthy choices in life.  Healthy Kids Day is a community friend- raiser, held annually for the last 14 years, which benefits the Strong Kids Scholarship Fund for underserved children to attend daycare in our new, fully licensed YMCA Daycare Center.  For the past three years the Family YMCA has collaborated with the Rotary Club of the Tarrytowns’ Annual Duck Derby.

Healthy Kids Day 2010 was another enormous success, and the weather truly helped.  The Family YMCA at Tarrytown expanded our community collaboration effort quite a bit.  New sponsors this year included Dr. BJ Mistry, Pediatric Dentist serving Tarrytown for 25 years, our Gold Event Sponsor, and new Friend of the Y Silver Sponsor PureVia, maker of all natural sugar substitute, both helped us make enormous strides in terms of both advertising the event and ensuring that all food options this year were truly "healthy."  Other Returning sponsors included Friend of the Y Silver Sponsors MetLife and Allstate. Thanks to a three way collaboration between PureVia, who donated funds to purchase healthy food, the Tarrytown YMCA, and Jan Maltby, co chair of the Westchester Slow Food Movement, we were able to purchase grass fed, organic beef hamburgers and all natural hot dogs from John Boy's Farm & Market.  Jan Maltby also used PureVia funds to purchase whole wheat buns and organic condiments.  All of these healthy foods were donated by the Y to the Tarrytown Fire Department, who in turn cooked and sold the burgers and dogs all day at Healthy Kids Day.

 Other new participants at Healthy Kids Day included Geordane's Market and Chutney Masala Indian Bistro, both of Irvington, NY.  Danielle from Geordane's offered grilled organic chicken and healthy wraps, lemonade and salads.  Navjot from Chutney Masala offered chicken tikki masala, whole wheat naan, vegetable samosas, saag paneer (a spinach dish) and a refreshing yogurt drink, Mango Lassi.  Rounding out the food and drink offerings was Mixters group, who made fresh yogurt and fruit smoothie, Main Street Sweets who sold sorbets and frozen yogurts, Pickle-licious offering pickles-on-a-stick and olives, and Julie Bean coffee cart.  Julie served her coffees, teas and lemonade with PureVia all natural sugar alternative, supplied by PureVia for the event.

 Hundreds of kids participated in our outdoor games and exercise classes, including Tug of War, Potato Sack Races, parachute games, children's yoga classes, and mini-Urban Rebounding classes.  Once again the Girl Scouts and the RSHM teens face painted all day, with help from a handful of volunteers from Brass Ride Sponsor Kohl's, another table sponsor.  Children also planted seeds in pots with the Community Garden organizers, who will transplant the seedlings into the new Sleepy Hollow Community Garden in June.  Other Returning sponsors included Brass Ride Sponsors Dr. Penny Resnick Pediatric Dentist, Nestle Waters, Hudson Health Plan, Urgent Care of Westchester and Xerox.   Giveaway Sponsors included Dannon Yogurt and Petland Discount Stores.  New Ride Vendor, “Send in the Clowns,” offered our youngest participants a visit to Sesame Street, a wild, 5-rides-in-1 adventure in Madagascar Castle, high times on the Double Slide, obstacle course and a Choo-Choo Ride.

On Friday October 30, over 360 people attended the first YMCA Halloween Masquerade Ball fundraiser.  The sold out event raised over $68,500 for the Strong Kids Fund at the YMCA, which helps ensure that underserved children, including children from the recently closed Boys and Girls Club, have access to high quality childcare, after school care and summer camp while their parents work or seek work.   Event sponsors included Legends Realty, MetLife, Abbott & Price, Inc. Mahopac National Bank, and Chiboust Bistro and Bakery.  Owner Jill Rose of Chiboust Bakery designed a cake exclusively for the event:  a Venetian themed, pumpkin-headed jester, and served slices of chocolate cake to guests.  Other sponsors included Community Preservation Corporation, Provident Bank, Marshall & Sterling; Hudson Health Plan and Hudson Valley Bank; and Allan Block Agency and J.D. Moschitto & Associates.

Guests were greeted by a wailing ghost and the Headless Horseman, listened to live jazz by Paul Wood Quartet during the cocktail hour in the Grand Hall, participated in Silent and Live Auctions, and danced till after midnight to the sounds of the Phase One Orchestra in the Caramai Ballroom.  Sleepy Hollow resident and long time YMCA Board member Aubrey Hawes received the Laurance S. Rockefeller Award for community service.  YMCA Board member Len Andrew, former co-worker Larry Levy, daughter Victoria Gearity and son Barrett Hawes helped present the award on behalf of the YMCA Board of Directors.
