Folks can dance, sweat and groove next week at Kismet Wellness to raise money for Haitian earthquake victims.
Zumba is a popular workout form based on Latin dance. The "Zumba Hearts for Haiti" event will be Friday, Feb. 12, from 6 to 7:15 p.m. at Kismet Wellness Center, 204 Andover St., second floor.
Participants are asked to pay a minimum $10 donation at the door. One hundred percent of money raised through donations and raffles at the event will go to "Operation T.H.E.R.E." a Haitian earthquake relief effort of Shoes 2 Share, a Delaware-based Christian nonprofit.
Shoes 2 Share was founded by an American couple who, after adopting two children from Haiti, have worked to end poverty, one pair of shoes at a time. Their organization sends new and gently used shoes, and medical supplies, toiletries and other necessities around the world.
The Feb. 12 Zumba-thon master class is open to the public and will be led by a team of six Kismet Zumba instructors. For more information on the charity visit www.shoes2share.com. For information about the Zumba-thon event visit www.kismetwellness.com or call 978-289-4155.
