Zumba in any weather
More than 100 people took in a Zumba workout to help raise money for Nova’s Ark.
The ACE Climatic Wind Tunnel at UOIT was packed with more than 100 people working out in multiple weather conditions in order to raise money.
The workout started in a snowstorm before shifting to high heat before ending with a humid rainstorm. The session, which took place over two hours, raised more than $2,000 for Nova’s Ark, which provides social and communication opportunities for people of all ages and abilities in Durham Region through interactions with gentle, therapy animals.
“It is fitting for ACE to establish another new first in such a fun and charitable way,” states Don Toporowski, the general manager for ACE, in a news release. “We were blown away with the energetic response and the endurance of the Zumba participants. They withstood everything the wind tunnel threw at them and in the process they raised over $2,000 for Nova’s Ark.”
