With a suggested minimum donation of $25 per day, we invite all members and their guests to take part in a scheduled special class from April 25 to May 1. Whether it’s cycling, running, swimming, yoga or dance, there are plenty of ways to show your support for those in crisis. All donations will go to Red Cross Relief for Countless Crises. 

Due to limited spots and an overwhelming show of support and intention to participate, we ask that members contribute for each class they would like to take.
