Easter Family Fun at YMM

On March 26, YMM hosted its second annual Family Easter Fun event, in support of the United Way Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo.

Six hundred children attended during the afternoon time slots. Each hour, a new group of children came out to YMM for Easter fun! Children would first select their favourite Easter basket from the baggage carousel, then make their way down the Easter bunny trail to enjoy activity and craft stations. The fun included cookie decorating, bunny racing, egg decorating and games at the carrot patch. The highlight for most was being greeted by the Easter Bunny once his flight arrived from Bunny Island.

All funds raised through the event will support important programs and services offered through United Way Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo member agencies.

YMM’s airport campus and community partners were eager to support the event, through in-kind and monetary sponsorships to enhance the event and funds raised for the United Way.

Team YMM is thrilled with the results of the event – Over 1,500 community members had a great time and over $2,000 was raised for the United Way!
