The Mabuhay Foundation recently celebrated a remarkable Zumbathon event on September 30, 2024, which brought together our community in a spirited gathering of health, fun, and support. We are excited to share the success of this event and express our gratitude to everyone who contributed to making it a memorable experience.
A Day Full of Energy and Connection
The Zumbathon was a fantastic showcase of community spirit, featuring high-energy Zumba sessions led by our enthusiastic instructors. Participants of all ages came together to dance and enjoy a lively atmosphere, reinforcing the importance of fitness and camaraderie. The standout moment of the day was undoubtedly the Seniors’ Line Dance Medley, which captivated the audience and celebrated the vitality of our senior participants. Their performance was a powerful reminder of the joy and resilience that embodies our mission.
Fundraising Success
Not only was the Zumbathon a celebration of movement and togetherness, but it also served a greater purpose—raising funds for the Mabuhay Foundation. We are thrilled to report that the event raised over $1,700, which will go directly toward our ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of life for seniors in our community. These funds will support various programs focused on health, social activities, and community engagement.
This success follows our recent Panda Express Fundraiser held on September 20, 2024, where we partnered with the popular restaurant chain to host a virtual community fundraiser. With participants across the nation enjoying their favorite Panda Express dishes, we raised a significant amount, further demonstrating our community’s dedication to supporting the Mabuhay Foundation’s mission.
A Heartfelt Thank You
We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who participated and supported the Zumbathon:
- Instructors: Your energy and dedication made the event possible. Thank you for leading our community in such inspiring routines.
- Volunteers: Your efforts behind the scenes ensured everything ran smoothly, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
- Attendees: Thank you for showing up, dancing your hearts out, and contributing to the cause. Your enthusiasm was infectious!

- Bingo Participants: A special congratulations to our Bingo winner who generously donated a portion of their winnings back to the Foundation. Your kindness exemplifies the spirit of giving that we strive to foster.
Celebrating Our Community
The Zumbathon was more than just a fundraiser; it was a celebration of our community’s resilience and the bonds we share. The laughter, music, and dancing reminded us all of the joy found in togetherness and active living. The feedback we received from attendees has been overwhelmingly positive, emphasizing the need for more events that combine fitness, fun, and community support.
