West Windsor, N.J. – It’s time to dance to your health. On Monday, Oct. 3, the Student Government Association (SGA) at Mercer County Community College invites the community to participate in a "Zumbathon" benefit from 12 to 1 p.m. in the gym on the college’s West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. The event will feature multiple instructors who are volunteering their time. Proceeds will be donated to the American Diabetes Association.
According to instructor Helen Tanzini, a chemistry professor at the college, the popular zumba exercise routines are easy to learn and fun for all. "You don’t have to be a salsa dancer to enjoy zumba!" she says. Participants are asked to wear sneakers; water will be provided.
Notes SGA President Shawn Khan, "Recognizing that Type 2 diabetes is becoming an epidemic in the United States – with growing numbers of young people affected by the disease – we decided to host this event to remind everyone that exercise is one of the keys to battling diabetes and maintaining good health. We hope people will come out, work out, and have fun for a good cause."
The suggested donation is $5. Proceeds will benefit the American Diabetes Association. No RSVP is necessary. For more information, contact Danielle Garruba at [email protected].
