What a day to remember! On October 20, 2024, Zumba enthusiasts from across the DMV gathered at Evolution Danz in Rockville, MD for an electrifying Zumbathon, led by the incredible Maria Browning. Together, we danced, laughed, and sweated our way to making a difference for a cause close to our hearts: supporting the Mabuhay Foundation and its mission to uplift underprivileged Filipino communities.
A Heartfelt Thank You to All Participants!
The energy was contagious, with participants of all ages showing up not just to burn calories, but also to contribute to meaningful change. We saw new faces, familiar friends, and an overwhelming sense of community. We are beyond grateful to the Seniors & the DMV Zumbanians, who were full of joy and enthusiasm, making this event a huge success.
Special Thanks to Our Sponsor!
We’d like to extend a special thank you to Mitzi of Reich World LLC, whose generous sponsorship made this event possible. With your support, we were able to host an unforgettable experience and raise significant funds to continue our work at Mabuhay Foundation.
Zumba, Energy, and Giving Back
Under Maria Browning’s dynamic instruction, the crowd stayed pumped up and moving from the first beat to the last. Her infectious energy kept everyone smiling and dancing as we moved to high-energy Zumba beats. Participants not only got a fantastic workout, but they also enjoyed knowing that every step, every move, and every drop of sweat was making a positive impact on the lives of others.
Supporting a Cause That Matters
All proceeds from the event are going directly to the Mabuhay Foundation, which provides essential support to Filipino communities in need. From educational resources to basic supplies, your participation is helping make a real difference in people’s lives.
