Community

There are days that remind you why community matters. Sunday, Oct. 19, 2025 — the 24th annual CHOP Buddy Walk® & Family Fun Day at Lincoln Financial Field — was one of those days for the YMCA Adventure Guides. We came as Team Mac & Cheese, we cheered and played, and we left with fuller hearts and a deeper understanding of what it means to give back. Registration began at 9:30 a.m. and by 10:30 the program had everyone smiling. At 11:30 a.m. we joined the ceremonial lap — kids, parents, siblings, and friends walking together — and the whole arena hummed with joy and purpose until the event wrapped at 1 p.m. Our team parked in Lot K at the North Entrance and spilled onto the grounds to enjoy moon bounces, carnival games, face painting, character appearances, music, and delicious food and beverages. ...

This service project was more than tree planting. It was a hands-on opportunity to teach our children about environmental stewardship, demonstrate gratitude for the outdoor spaces we enjoy, and connect more deeply with nature through meaningful action. ...
