Sizzling Hot!

Sizzling Hot is the only way to describe Zumba for Shelter! On Friday September 10th, more than 70 women from all oer the greater Toronto area gathered in Ajax for an evening of fitness, dance and fun, all while giving back to the community. With Zumba Instructors Yan, Sandy and Heidi leading the fitness dance party, these super women too a group fitness class and turned it in to a huge celebration of strength, passion and community spirit!

Was Zumba for Shelter a Success? Absolutely! During those two incredible hours, more than $1,300.00 was raised for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation. Herizon House Representative Tasha Wilson was on hand for the party and confirmed that 100% of all the funds received via the Shelter Foundation from both Zumba for Shelter and Cycle for Shelter would be used for the crisis centre's childrens program.

Armed with the knowledge that more than 60% of the beds at Herizon House are currently filled by children, and that every penny raised would help pay for things like medicine for the kids, new shoes, and things like school field trips, we all set out to make it a night to remember.

Thank you so much to all of the wonderful people, both family and friends who helped make this event such a success. There were so many of you who jumped on board and said "what ever it takes" as soon as you heard my plans. Because of you we were able to make a real and significant difference in the lives of those women and children who need it most, right here in our community!
