Supporting the YMCA’s efforts to close the education gap

Grab your friends and family, comfortable shoes and form a team to participate in the 3rd Annual Step Up for Kids, sponsored by MiddleGround Capital and UK HealthCare. Track your steps from anywhere or join David Kloiber, President of Kloiber Foundation, at the Whitaker Family YMCA on Saturday, Sept. 16 between 6 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. and walk, run or exercise your way to 100,000 steps in one day.

Please join us at the Whitaker Family YMCA anytime between 6 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. to walk on the track (not required).

  • Pick up your team’s t-shirts
  • Photo booth to commemorate your accomplishment and support for the Y
  • Music and snacks throughout the day
  • Pick up incentives your team has earned through fundraising
  • Celebrate with David as he finishes his 100K Steps

It’s FREE to participate. Sign up as an individual or on a team, secure some pledges and win some fun event swag. Show your support by making a minimum donation of $25 to benefit kids in your community!

Individuals can form teams up to 10 members to divide and conquer 100,000 steps. Only have 5 members? Set the goal at 50,000 steps (individuals should try to get an average of 10,000 steps each for the day). Click here to download a conversion chart for non-walking activities to steps.

Share the fun! As you build your team, raise funds, and clock your steps, we encourage you to share on social! Tag @ymcaofcentralkentucky on Facebook and Instagram so we can see your progress and share your success.  #100KforYKids
