6th Annual Pump for Pink
10/3/2019 12:00:00 AM | The Well
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. With this in mind, it would be impossible to look around the UVM campus and not see someone who has been impacted by breast cancer in some way or another. Whether it be a friend's or a family member's, a diagnosis of breast cancer leaves a lasting impression on everyone's lives.In order to support survivors and local research initiatives at the University of Vermont Cancer Center, please consider joining us for some fitness-based fundraising fun at our Sixth Annual Pump for Pink event on Saturday, October 19!
This event features two 60 minute LesMills Body Pump classes starting at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. in the Campus Rec Studio.
Pump for Pink was started by Campus Rec group fitness instructor Olivia Johnson in order to align her passion for fitness and wellness with her desire to give back to a cause that she cares about deeply.
"Since its inception, I've envisioned Pump for Pink as an event that harnesses the support and generosity of our community," said Olivia. "I have received overwhelming support from local businesses through sponsorships and donations. More importantly, each year we entertain more than 150 participants for a fun-loving, sweat-filled workout that brings us all together to show support and raise awareness for such an amazing cause."
Not only is Pump for Pink a fun way to show support for breast cancer survivors, this event also raises funds for the University of Vermont Cancer Center. This facility houses research programs that are crucial to the successes we see in cancer treatments today and provides compassionate care for cancer patients and their families.
Pump for Pink is free and open to the UVM and greater Burlington community. No prior experience with LesMills Body Pump is necessary! There will be drinks, light snacks, and fun giveaways. Don't forget to wear pink to show your support for breast cancer awareness!
Let us know if we'll see you there!
