“We are not charging admission for this event, although we will happily accept donations of any amount, which will go directly to Community United San José” (www.communityunitedsj.org), said Becky Williamson, President of lifeSport Fitness (http://www.lifesportfitness.net/). “I will also be making a personal donation of $5 per person for any participant that attends the workout who has never done a boot camp workout with us before. This is our way of encouraging people to spread the word about the importance of exercise in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We want to get people off the couch!”
Community United is a non-profit organization committed to creating opportunity for young people ages 6-17 by increasing their awareness of the possibilities to lead happier, more creative and productive lives. Community United currently services 60-70 kids a day at two youth centers in San Jose. A majority of these kids are “at-risk” youth identified as likely to fall into gangs and drug use unless there is some kind of successful intervention. Community United provides a safe place for the kids to go after school where they can get help with their homework, participate in sports and recreation activities and eat a healthy snack.
