Champs enjoy superhero party
Happy champs gather together for a group portrait at the Circle of Champs party. The YMCA free program is dedicated to improving the quality of life for children who’ve been touched by a life-threatening illness.
To the Editor:
Some of the greatest champions in the community made a showing on June 30 in Guilderland, all to benefit children who are fighting serious illnesses. It was the Circle of Champs Family & Friends Party at the YMCA Adventure Camp.
Our champs enjoyed swimming, the bounce house, face-painting, and lively dancing with our DJ. We were honored to have police officers from the HERO [Having Everyone Respect Officers] Foundation at our Superhero-themed event.
Officers and their dogs from Schenectady, Saratoga, and Guilderland, together with Spider-Man, entertained our children and families. It is a tribute to our champs and HEROes whose positive energy, openness, and caring inspired us all.
A big thank you to all the businesses, sponsors, volunteers, and staff who made this special event a success!
