Group Exercise hosted the new event, ZumbaTHON on Jan. 14 from 5-7 pm at Campus Recreation in Jordan Gym. Participants described the event as exhilarating, fun, not-to-mention sweaty, and a great way to raise money for a local organization.
125 students registered for the 2-hour cardio/dance workout, paying either a $5 or $10 (with t-shirt) registration with proceeds benefiting the Burlington Boys and Girls Club. These earnings will be presented to the Burlington Boys and Girls Club in the coming days.
ZUMBA! a latin dance and cardio fusion workout, is an Elon Group Exercise favorite throughout the school year. The event was created in an effort to give more students the opportunity to try ZUMBA! as well as raise money for the local Boys and Girls Club. Campus Recreation has a long standing relationship with the organization and was happy to donate the proceeds from the event.
Group X would like to send a special thank you to all the participants who attended for making the event such a success.
