YMCA Honors Weight Loss Challenge Winners

The YMCA of Greater Omaha (www.metroymca.org) proudly recognized the winners of its first-ever Weight Loss Challenge at a ceremony held at the Ramada Plaza and Convention Center on April 14th.

Attendees celebrated the collective 9,978 pounds lost by over 400 participants along with hearing from motivational speakers Kris Huie and Cherish Johnette, and the top twelve winners were crowned. The winning male and female participants will be featured on billboards around the Omaha Metro and will receive a grand prize of $5,000 each along with a lifetime membership to the YMCA.

Every journey begins with a first step. 150 years ago the YMCA of Greater Omaha was established with the goal of strengthening the lives of children, adults and families in Greater Omaha metro and has grown to 10 locations serving the community. Beginning in May and running through the remainder of the year, the YMCA will be celebrating the many milestones it has reached over the past 150 years, culminating with a photo exhibition at the Durham Heritage Museum as well as a Y150 Gala celebration.
