THE GYM Montvale Halfway Toward Goal for Make-A-Wish(R) New Jersey

Since the beginning of March 2013, THE GYM Montvale has been conducting a variety of classes from which the proceeds are being donated to Make-A-Wish New Jersey.  Their goal is to raise enough funds to grant a wish for a child’s trip to Disney World.  Through March 18th, THE GYM has raised nearly $5000 – halfway to their goal of $10,000.

The classes are open to gym members and non-members alike on a first come, first serve basis. The suggested donation amount is $25 (cash or check only), and registration is required in advance. Sign-up sheets are located at the Customer Service Desk at THE GYM.

Julann Kennish, General Manager of THE GYM Montvale, Lisa Bruchalski, Group Fitness Director and Denise Tourso, Program Design Coordinator added, “We are excited about our relationship with Make-A-Wish New Jersey. We created a new line of specialty classes to encourage member participation and help us reach our fundraising goals.” 

THE GYM has designed a special line up of classes for year's program benefiting Make-A-Wish New Jersey:

• Sat, Mar 23 – Spin-a-Thon - Jess/7am, Ron/8:15am, Lisa B/9:30am, Stacy/10:45am, Helaine/Noon
