THE GYM Set To Help Raise Funds for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

THE GYM, a complete lifestyle and fitness center, is once again opening their doors to support Breast Cancer Awareness month. In the last two years, THE GYM raised over $11,000 for the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation (TNBCF), a local charity. TNBCF funds breakthrough research to support the discovery of promising new treatments and services for patients with triple negative breast cancer. Triple negative tumors generally do not respond to receptor-targeted treatment, can be particularly aggressive, and are more likely to recur than other subtypes of breast cancer.

“We are grateful to have the generous support of THE GYM and its members in the fight against breast cancer. Dedicated and longstanding partners like THE GYM enable us to fund groundbreaking research and to provide essential services to thousands of women who are battling triple negative disease.” said Hayley Dinerman, Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation.

THE GYM of Englewood has scheduled a series of special fundraising events in their fitness center. They include:

Triple Threat Dance Class - Thursday, October 15th at 8:30 pm

As if one dance instructor wasn’t enough, THE GYM will provide participants with three instructors in this special class. Join Chris, Hilla and Cat for this heart-pumping dance class!. This class is $20 for members ($25 for non-members)

Spin-A-Thon Weekend - Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 9th-11th
Spin your weekend with THE GYM to help support breast cancer research. All classes have a suggested donation of $10 this weekend.

Push-Up Contest - Wednesday, October 14th at 9:00am

“It’s a wonderful thing to be able to offer any kind of help in the fight against this disease.” Said Nurit Chasman, Group Fitness Director in Englewood. “We are delighted to work together with our members to show our support. We hope to be able to raise more than we did last year, and we look forward to having fun while we do it!”

THE GYM of Montvale will be conducting a series of fundraisers later in the month.

“We have been giving back to the local community since we opened in 2002,” said Montvale Group Fitness Director, Lisa Bruchalski . “We are honored to help raise funds to combat this terrible disease.”

Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation (TNBCF) was founded in 2006 in honor of Nancy Block-Zenna, who was diagnosed at the young age of 35 with triple negative breast cancer before succumbing to the disease in 2007. TNBCF strives to be a credible source for triple negative breast cancer information, a catalyst for science and patient advocacy groups, and a caring community with meaningful services for triple negative patients and their families.
