The Y is proud to say that the Tampa YMCA Turkey Gobble covers 100% of the cost of our youth cancer survivor program: Kids Thrivers Club . The free 12-week programs offers children affected by cancer a safe, supportive environment to participate in physical and social activities focused on strengthening the whole person. While participating in the program, participants and their household family members receive a membership to the Tampa YMCA, helping the whole family regain their health. Additionally, it covers 100% of the cost of our Pedaling for Parkinson's program, helping those affected by Parkinson's and their caregivers to have a community of support while participants see a reduction in symptoms.
