On Wednesday, May 9, the William Swanston Charitable Fund awarded a $100,000 grant to YNDC.
The grant award will be utilized by YNDC and its partners to reduce childhood obesity in Youngstown’s neighborhoods through strategic investments in the built environment at four city parks that serve the highest numbers of children in the city. These improvements will make physical activity easier, more attractive, and more accessible to the city’s most vulnerable youth populations. Encouraging physical activity and active living is a primary Ohio Department of Health recommendation for the reduction of childhood obesity. Many thanks to the William Swanston Charitable Fund for the support!
