More than 2 million people have participated in Rally events across the nation since its inception in 1996. This year marks the first year Proof Fitness has rallied against breast cancer, as they just opened their doors 9 months ago.

Proof Fitness invites the public to take part in this Rally event. Membership is not necessary.

The event is a fun way for us to bring together our members and the community to support an important cause while being physically active with a Zumba event that people are passionate about,” states Melissa Skaggs, Marketing/Group Fitness Manager at Proof Fitness.

Since its start in 1996, the Rally program has touched over 2 million people with the important message that early detection and effective treatment saves lives. In addition to mobilizing people behind breast cancer awareness, Rally events have generated over $75 million for Susan G. KomenTM.
