Akwesasne WOW Team sponsors breast cancer 'Burpee-a-Thon' Oct. 25

Posted

AKWESASNE -- In honor of breast cancer awareness month, Laura Tarbell’s WOW Team (Women of Worth) announces their first “Burpees for Breast Cancer Burpee-a-thon” fundraiser to be held Oct. 25 at 8 a.m. at Heart to Heart Fitness Center. The event is designed to challenge its members to 40 minutes of burpees to raise money for Akwesasne women going through Breast Cancer treatments.

Much like a traditional walk-a-thon fundraiser, this burpee-a-thon will require participants to find sponsors to make donations. During the fundraiser, the WOW women will form teams and perform as many burpees as possible in a 40-minute time period. Class is open to any woman. There will be prizes for the team who performs the most burpees and the woman who raises the most donations, as well as various give aways. Pledge forms are available at the front desk at Heart to Heart.

To donate to the campaign, stop by Heart to Heart Fitness Center, 19 Eagle Dr., Akwesasne, or to the main Tarbell Management Group office in Bears Den Trading Post, state Route 37.
