Grand Blanc, MI - Genesys Athletic Club (GAC) will host Zumba Night – Shakin’ it for a Cause – a fundraiser to benefit Genesys cancer patients. The event, open to the entire community – will take place Friday, April 30 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., at GAC.
Cost is $30 for early registration before April 14. After April 14, cost is $35.
The evening includes a 90-minute Zumba class featuring some of the top Zumba instructors in the area, door prizes, raffles, appetizers, a 25 percent discount coupon to the GAC pro shop, and an official Zumba-wear trunk show.
The first 75 registrants will receive a free Zumba gift.
A portion of the proceeds from this Zumba event will go to Reunion with a Cause, an annual walk held at Holly High School to remember loved ones lost to cancer and to celebrate cancer survivors. Sponsored by Genesys Health Foundation, this event includes music, entertainment, food, and a candle lighting ceremony.
Funds raised from Reunion with a Cause are used to help Genesys cancer patients pay for medications, medical equipment, rental equipment such as wheelchairs, private pay aides, transportation to and from cancer treatments, and other special needs not covered by health insurance. Last year almost $60,000 was raised from Reunion with a Cause.
