Happy Father's Day to all of our amazing dads out there!!

The YMCA is actually the creator of the first statewide Father's Day celebration in Washington on June 19th, 1910. In celebration of this day, take a look at this special story from our Riverfront YMCA about a loving dad of two little gymnasts!!
