Patti Bosco and her daughter Kelly Bosco, the gym owners, made the atmosphere of the setting very welcoming. They introduced themselves and explained to whoever came what was going on at the event.
There were t-shirts sold to raise money for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. 400 dollars was raised for the organization. It was free for anyone to join the various workouts from different instructors, and have fun. The free workouts included Zumba, Butt & Gutt, Chickboxing, & Yoga.
Donations from Supercuts, Hand 7 Stone, Hollywood Tans, Giant & Oakley assisted in the cause. It was great to see Oakley donate especially since there is not always light shed on companies that sell high price merchandise for doing such. There were prizes given to those who brought raffle tickets in which they received prizes. There were men and women that came out to give their donations for the cause. Amanda Eckenroad who used to work at the Dixon Center here at Cabrini was one of the winners. For her ,“It was great having fun and doing something for a better cause.”
When asking one of the organizers Ryan Skellenger, if this was how he expected the event to be he said “Yes. It is a great community surrounding the gym. Plus, it is a great cause. It’s great to help people.”
