RIDE for MOMS at Fit On Studios Benefitting 1736 Family Crisis Center

Fit On Studios to Raise Funds for 1736 Family Crisis Center in First RIDE FOR MOMS

Mother’s Day Brings Week of Activities May 7-11 to Honor Mom

In honor of one of our favorite holidays recognizing the hardest job around – being a Mom – Fit On Studios has created the Ride for Moms charity “race” throughout the week of May 7-11 to bring the South Bay community together and benefit the 1736 Family Crisis Center (FCC), a shelter for women and children. All fees for Fit On indoor cycling classes throughout the week will go directly to the shelter. Fit On’s Barre classes throughout the week are also eligible for the fundraiser and the Studio will match the first $1,000. Fitness fundraisers are also encouraged to form teams and take pledges to help increase the donation to this important organization, which makes a tremendous difference in the lives of some of our most vulnerable women and children.

The 1736 Family Crisis Center is dedicated to “building brighter tomorrows.” Its staff has been moved to serve by some of the most horrific incidents that plague our society daily. From the story of little Tiffany, a diabetic child who was beaten to death by her father for bedwetting, to countless others who have touched the lives of FCC staff, they stand ready to save lives and help clients discover the strength, hope and positive outlook on life that they may have lost.

The RIDE FOR MOMS is just one of the special things taking place at Fit On Studios that week.  Additional activities from 8 – 11 am (unless otherwise noted) each day include:
