Be the spark

One of the Privileges of the Kansas Association for Youth is to live a healthy lifestyle.

We can inspire that healthy lifestyle in our schools and communities.

That’s why we love the Be the Spark campaign. We love showcasing how KAY Clubs have partnered with their schools and community to promote a healthy lifestyle for all ages.

Thank you to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas for your generosity and support!
