The BAF - Another Example Of How It Is Making A Difference

We have yet another example of the excellent work being done by Clay's Bubel Aiken Foundation. A YMCA in Pennsylvania is earmarked for a BAF Able To Serve grant this year, and this article from the Times Tribune tells us how they plan on spending it:

On Thursday, the Greater Carbondale YMCA was informed it had been selected one of 10 organizations in the nation — and the only one in Pennsylvania — to receive a Clay Aiken Able-to-Serve Grant from the Bubel Aiken Foundation and Youth Service America.

The grant money has been slated for an interactive information and snack station at the 13th annual Fred Ciotti 5K Run/Walk event, hosted by the YMCA on April 21.

Event organizers would like to invite a nutritionist or dietician to make children more aware of healthy eating and their own eating habits, YMCA Executive Director Steve Durkin said.

“A few years ago we added the fun run to the Fred Ciotti race so the kids have fun,” Mr. Durkin said. “Now we’re expanding it to include Special Olympics.”
