Zumba will work; let's do that!
Participants will pay admission and sign a release to access the exercise space. Funds collected will go to BeTheMatch.org and the signed releases (or a portion of the page they're printed on) will be used as entries for door prizes. Some identifier (i.e.: sticker or bracelet, etc.) will be given to each person once they have paid their admission and signed the form.
In a separate area, outside of the exercise room, some BeTheMatch registration tables will be set up. Anyone can find out more about bone marrow donation and decide if they want to join the registry, and they can do this at no charge.
Although all are invited to do both, those who come just to do Zumba are not obligated to join the registry, and those who come to join the registry are not obligated to pay admission to do Zumba.
When formulating this idea, Cheryl wanted to pitch the basics of it to her Zumba teacher (and international recording artist) Watatah Fiah Lion. Before she could finish telling him about her brother's health challenge, he volunteered to do the very idea she was about to request.
He named it a "Zumba-thon", and that is what will happen on November 7th in Silver Spring!
Since then, Cheryl's fellow #Zumba class member, Emily Kirby, presented the idea to the Woodlin Elementary School PTA, who generously donated the school gym for the function.
So, save the date and invite your friends. Come and workout for a good cause.
