Jingle Bell Jog 5K and Breakfast with Santa

The YMCA in Eagan invites families of Eagan, Apple Valley and Rosemount to the 4th Annual Breakfast with Santa on Saturday, December 1st, from 9am to 11:30am at the Eagan YMCA.  New to this Annual Event is the Jingle Bell Jog 5K in which community members are invited to take a jog around the Eagan Y at 8:30am before partaking in breakfast festivities.  Event’s activities include visiting with Santa, a silent auction, holiday caroling, an inflatable Jump House, balloon animals, crafts, and face painting.


Pancakes, juice and coffee will be served by Eagan YMCA’s School Age Child Care staff, representing the 14 elementary schools in the District.  Nearly 2,000 students are enrolled in the YMCA’s before and after school child care programs in their local schools.  Programs are based on an eight core-competency curriculum, including opportunities for homework help and club times. 


“The YMCA values its partnership with Independent School District 196,” said Nyam Smith, Executive Director of the Eagan Y.  “This is a time to celebrate with the families we serve and the whole community.”
