Zumba is the fastest growing dance-exercise program in the world. This high energy workout is danced to the pulsating beat of Latin music. On Saturday, November 12th, local Zumba enthusiasts will have a chance to shake their bodies while helping a good cause at the same time.
The Crib, a non-profit organization which supports Southern Maryland families, will be holding a Zumba Fundraiser from 12noon-2pm at The House of Dance, in Hollywood MD. Zumba instructors Geno Rothback, Pat Whitmer, and Heather Arthur will be leading the group during this event. Admission is a $15 donation, and 100% of all funds raised will go towards helping local families. The House of Dance is located at 24620 Three Notch Road, Hollywood MD.
In addition to the Zumba, there will also be vendors selling a variety of products; everything from Soylicious Candles, to locally produced Herbal Teas, and Organic Skincare by Forever Eden. A portion of sales from these products will also be donated to The Crib.
The Crib assists parents in crisis by providing a place where they can find support and encouragement. Beyond providing critical assistance in locating and accessing resources for essentials such as food, shelter and medical care, the staff and volunteers at The Crib adopt a holistic approach and work towards providing education and support for both parent and child. The goal of The Crib is that upon completion of the program clients are self-sufficient, capable parents on a life path that inspires them!
The Crib is a caring community committed to empowering parents in crisis situations. A parent who has the courage to raise their baby alone has the strength to be a role model for both their child and community. The Crib is intended to have a multigenerational impact; each parent who successfully completes the program will see its effects on their own life and on the life of their child. Executive Director Andrea Templeton explains, “By taking action now, we can create a cycle of hope and success for future generations. “
