The Pink Fund is urging you to Zumba® under the sun for a change and help to raise money for a good cause. A local nonprofit organization, The Pink Fund offers temporary financial assistance to breast cancer patients in active treatment and recovery.

Zumbathon will be held at Walsh College on Saturday, June 9, and will offer multiple Zumba® classes taught by certified instructors from Team Fit, a fitness center located in Mount Clemens, and other studios. Classes will run from 11 a.m.-3 p.m., and attendees can choose to participate in one or all classes.

Class times are as follows:  

• “Cardio Party” at 11 a.m.
• “Reggaeton” at 12 p.m.
• “Brazilian/Belly Dance” at 1 p.m.
• “Zumba Gold®" at 2 p.m.

“This is just a phenomenal way to promote joy, fitness and overall health, which is what The Pink Fund ultimately stands for,” said Molly MacDonald, founder of The Pink Fund. “And it’s a fun way to get active, especially at an outdoor location that is so different from your typical workout studio.”
 
Registration for Zumbathon can be found on The Pink Fund’s website; registration before June 1 includes a free tank top. The cost is $25 for one class or $50 for multiple classes. All proceeds will support The Pink Fund’s mission of providing “Real Help Now” for basic cost of living expenses for breast cancer patients.
 
The event will feature hourly prize raffles, and Renee Vitale, co-host of Fresh 100’s Jay Towers in the Morning on 100.3, will be on-location from noon-2 p.m. Refreshments will also be offered throughout the day, as well as a sample of Chicken Mango Salad from Qdoba.
