Zumba for Hope Fundraising Party 2024 Opening

#zumba #hope #fundraising #fitness #healthylifestyle

*Zumba for Hope Fundraising Party 2024* was a Breast Cancer awareness and fundraising event that culminated in L'Île-Bizard-Sainte-Geneviève on the night of August 6th, 2024.
The Zumba event, led by our Zumba superstar Lisbeth and her team of instructors, featured dancing with breast cancer survivors, their families, friends, and Zumba enthusiasts. It was a great celebration for breast cancer survivors, demonstrating and sharing a positive mindset with all attendees.

The Zumba party was organized by the Art Saving Life Foundation, supported by L'Île-Bizard-Sainte-Geneviève City and Service Canada. This marks the 10th year we have organized the Zumba summer outdoor event with the city, promoting Zumba fitness to the local community for free and helping to build healthy and positive lifestyles since 2015.

A special thanks to DDO MP Sameer Zuberi and Doug Hurley, Mayor of L'Île-Bizard, for delivering wonderful speeches that encouraged the community.
