The Red Oak Kiwanis Club presented a $400.00 check to Friends of Red Oak Trails and the Montgomery County Family YMCA on May 20, 2013. The organizations shared the proceeds from the 4th Annual Kiwanis TRYathalon held Saturday, April 20, 2013.
Over 40 participants took part in this year’s event that was designed to focus on health and wellness and instill participants with a “Yes I Can” attitude. The event consisted of a 200 yard swim, 6 mile bike ride and 2 mile run/walk.
The YMCA will invest the proceeds in its “Our Future is in Your Hands” Endowment Fund. The endowment fund is set up so that the interest earned off the fund is available to the YMCA to meet future maintenance needs of the facility.
