Grab your water bottle and get ready to sweat: UTC’s third annual Zumbathon charity event is on Tuesday, Feb. 24, benefiting the American Heart Association. Shake a tail feather on down to UTC’s Aquatic and Recreation Center (ARC) on 601 E. 5th St. The event starts at 4:30 p.m. and offers three hours of Zumba dancing for a fun and energy-packed workout. There will also be free Zumba gear giveaways all evening and a live DJ to provide entertainment and an upbeat atmosphere.
Cost is $5 for current UTC students with a valid Mocs ID card, and $10 for UTC faculty and staff, as well as the rest of the Chattanooga community. Only cash and checks will be accepted.
One hundred percent of the proceeds are donated to the AHA, specifically supporting “Go Red for Women,” an AHA campaign advocating more research for women’s heart health.
February is American Heart Month. What better way to raise awareness than Zumba’ing and donating money to a great cause, helping to prevent heart-disease related deaths in the United States? Be a part of something fun, positive, and beneficial to others this week by coming out to this event.
