Birdies Fore Charity

Each year, Birdies for Charity leads up to THE PLAYERS Championship and allows the community to support local charities through tracking the exciting, high-level of play during the tournament, which takes place May 3-9. Beginning April 5, all YMCA of Florida’s First Coast locations will have pledge cards available so you can get involved and support our Stong Kids Campaign through Birdies for Charity. Pledges can be made as a lump sum or per birdie, but be careful because in 2009 1,502 birdies were made throughout the tournament!

All pledges must be submitted by May 5 and don’t forget to guess how many birdies will be made in this year’s tournament. If you guess correctly, you’ll receive a trip for two to The Barclays, which includes, roundtrip airfare for two, four nights at the Sheraton Mahwah Hotel, two weekly VIP tickets to The Barclays, and more!

First Coast Kids Triathlon

On May 2, more than 400 kids between the ages of 5 and 15 will race to the finish line at the First Coast Kids Triathlon. Triathlons consist of four components - swimming, biking, running and transitions. If children can swim four laps in a pool and ride their bikes for 20 minutes, they can successfully complete a kids triathlon. All race distances are set by the USAT and are designed to be challenging, yet achievable for first-timers. In fact, 80% of last year’s participants were first-timers!

Several branches throughout the First Coast will offer free training programs to get kids ready for the big day. The Winston Family YMCA will offer a training program starting the week of March 8 on Saturdays from 10:00am-11:00am.
