Local charity event raised over $3, 500 to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure
The AAA Four-Diamond Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, owned and managed by Marcus® Hotels & Resorts, is proud to announce the success of its recent Party in Pink™ Zumbathon®. The event, held at the resort’s WELL Spa + Salon, raised $3,781 to benefit the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity. Zumba, a Latin-inspired dance-fitness program, is one of the spa’s more popular class offerings.
“We are absolutely thrilled with the level of participation we received from the local community and our Grand Geneva guests,” said Connie Woodhouse, Director of the WELL Spa and Fitness Center. “Here at the WELL Spa, we have made it our mission to be true examples of wellness by giving back to those in need. It was an honor to host this year’s event and we would like to thank everyone who came out to support this worthy cause.”
Hosted by the resort’s six certified Zumba instructors, the Party in Pink™ event featured a party-friendly soundtrack by DJ Alan Baddmixx Boyd and donated pink-themed treats from Simple Bakery, Lake Geneva Bakery and Panera Bread. In between dance moves, guests participated in raffles and casino games by David Tasse’ Productions, with all proceeds benefitting the cause.
Now in its third year, Party in Pink™ encourages Zumba instructors and enthusiasts to host and attend Zumbathon® charity events benefiting breast cancer research and education. Last year’s campaign took the effort worldwide, raising over $1.2 million for breast cancer charities.
