Activate America® Milestones
Activate America® coverage in TIME Magazine
This TIME magazine advertorial highlights YMCAs' contributions to America's good health over the last century and a half, and announces Ys' commitment to a major new collaborative health initiative called Activate America®. The weekly news magazine contributed the advertorial space to YMCA of the USA, the national resource office for America's 2,663 YMCAs. "Because obesity has reached epidemic proportions in this country...and because the mission and values of the YMCA are so clear and appropriate, it's very easy for a magazine like TIME magazine to partner with the YMCA," said TIME magazine President Eileen Naughton.
