Adoptions From The Heart Hosts First Virtual Week of Workouts
Join Adoptions From The Heart's Virtual Week of Workouts to Honor All Birth Parents.
Wynnewood, PA, August 07, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Adoptions From The Heart (AFTH) has adapted their annual summer workout class fundraiser into a virtual experience called the Week of Workouts to partake in from the safety of your own home. Adoptions From The Heart is encouraging participants to share their support via social media by tagging AFTH and using the hashtag #WOW for "Week of Workouts." This year participants can sign up for a variety of workout classes aside from Zumba® including but not limited to legs and glutes, bodyweight strength, yoga, and cardio. AFTH’S Week of Workouts is a weeklong event to raise money for the Expecting and Birth Parent Support Fund. AFTH has partnered with fitness influencers from Motion Melissa’s “The Motion Squad,” Jenna Stern, and Meghan Gary and many more via Zoom so you can stay active while supporting birth parents. AFTH is offering 12, 40 to 60-minute long classes from Monday 8/17 to Sunday 8/23, and will be closing out their event on Sunday with a 2 hour dance-a-thon.
AFTH’s Expecting and Birth Parent Support Fund aids current and former clients facing financial hardships who have placed a child for adoption through the agency. The fund is supported solely by donations, and the proceeds will go towards food, housing, clothing and other costs.
Between 7/1/2019 – 6/30/2020 Adoptions From The Heart received a total of $45,185 in funds from generous donors to lend financial support to expecting and birth parents.
“This is a fun, easy way to get your workout in for the day and support women who just may need a helping hand. Your workout could help someone who may be struggling to pay rent, keep their electric on or even put food on the table,” said Heidi Gonzalez, Executive Director of Adoptions From The Heart.
Kristen Dziegielewski is a birth mom who has placed a child for adoption through AFTH and is a recipient of the Expecting and Birth Parent Support Fund.
“The Birth Parent Support Fund has helped me and my family out by helping make it so we could eat in between pay periods, get diapers, etc. If it wasn’t for that fund and the generosity of everyone who contributes to the fund I don’t know what we would’ve done in those hard times. Every dollar that goes to that fund makes a difference. I am so thankful and grateful for Adoptions From The Heart and everyone who helps support,” said Dziegielewski.
For those interested in attending the virtual workout classes, registration for one class is $5, the dance-a-thon is $10, and the full week of workouts, including 13 classes and the dance-a-thon is $35. Participants who sign up for the most classes will receive a certificate at the end of the week. Links to join the classes will be emailed out once registration is complete.
