Success at the Zumbathon!!!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our first ever Zumbathon!  

Because of your support we raised

over $1,000!!!!

We are that much closer to replacing the playgrounds in the Pheasantbrook Community.  

We truly are grateful to all who participated 
(being at the Zumbathon and in making pledges) 
You've helped us make this event a great success!!!

We'd are also pleased to announce the following winners:

For raising the most money through pledges and donations:

Bethany

Winner of her choice between a 7-Day Park City Condo or a brand new Gas BBQ

In the drawing of all Zumba participants:

Cecilia

Winner of her choice between a brand new Smoothie Machine or brand new Hot Cocoa Machine

We could not have been successful without the help of 

The Centerpoint Legacy Theatre for providing the space, Mike Welling for Tech Support and of course, to our three certified Zumba Instructors who kept us moving across two full hours.  

You were awesome!

5 Reasons to ZUMBA with us on 5/5

The Zumbathon is this Saturday and we are really excited for it!!!! Here are 5 reasons for you to be excited as well:

1) You'll be helping a small community raise money to replace playgrounds that are 30 years old.

2) At the same time you'll be doing something good for you!

3) You could win a 7-day stay in Park City!!!! (Or a brand new BBQ grill and other prizes.)

4) Zumba is a party! $5.00 for a Zumba class is a great deal and a great way to try out one of the latest trends in exercising!

5) If you've never seen the inside of the Centerpoint Legacy Theatre, this is your chance!

See you there!

I am so excited about this month ::: we can do it!  Already I have $300+ donated for the zumbathon;   Then we have the opportunity to volunteer at So Davis Rec triathlon weekend  May 12-13  and   we are going to  have a Wendy's day when for a certain period of the day  we get 10% of the profits  of any sales at Wendys ...  Plus the yard sale on May 19th  and the Pennies Drive. 

Zumbathon ... If  50 people  participate with  $100.00 in sponsporships each that would be $5000.00  .

Great Prizes:  Merchant Gift cards, Brand new Gas barbecue grill,  Vacation condo stay....  Get excited ask for support.

Big Announcement: We are hosting a Zumbathon!!!!

We are nearing our fundraising deadline (May 25th).  And one of our last BIG fundraising events is one we are very excited about!  

A Friends of Pheasantbrook Zumbathon! 

Feel free to print this picture and advertise the event at your place of work, we would be so grateful!


There are a few ways to participate in this event:
1) Simply come to the Zumbathon and pay the $5 donation as your entrance fee.

2) Or ask friends and family to sponsor you in this event.
We will have prizes available for pledge participants!  


How sponsorship works:
One of our committee members (Beth) has already received a sponsorship from her sister for a $0.10 donation for every minute Beth Zumbas! The Zumbathon is a 2-hour event, so if she Zumbas for the full 120 minutes, she'll have helped us raise $120.00! After the Zumbathon, Beth will follow up with her sister to complete the donation process by letting her sister know how long she lasted. Her sister can then make the donation either by mailing us a check or paying directly through our Paypal account using the "Donate" button in the upper right corner.


We are a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization so consider this when asking for donations.  

More Important Details

You can sign up on the day of the event or pre-register by making your $5.00 donation through Paypal using the "Donate" button on the upper right corner of our blog. Remember, your sponsors can also make their payments through this button. This the fastest way to make payments and to receive your receipt for tax-deduction benefits.
