Have a Heart during #14daysofcaring

This TV ad was shown on CTV/BellMedia during our yearly Have-a-Heart Campaign. This event lasts two weeks and uses the hashtag #14daysofcaring. During this time, we ask people to donate to the Strong Kids Campaign. Strong Kids gives money to help children who can’t afford YMCA programs. It makes sure every child can join, learn new things, and grow at the YMCA.
