“Our children are the future of this borough, so it is important to use healthy activities as a way to build trust and bond in a meaningful way. We’re strengthening those important relationships and encouraging healthy habits for the whole family when we stay active with our sons and daughters, and I was so proud to be a part of today’s event,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr.
