How a Zumba Fundraiser is Supporting Healing Hands for Haiti
The power of movement extends beyond physical health—it can unite communities, spark change, and bring hope to those in need. This was on full display at Brigham Young University, where the Women of Color Club recently hosted a Zumba class fundraiser to support Healing Hands for Haiti. This high-energy event blended fitness and philanthropy, demonstrating how small, collective actions can lead to meaningful impact.
Dancing for a Cause
The fundraiser was more than just a workout session; it was a powerful expression of solidarity, awareness, and generosity. Attendees came together to enjoy an evening of Zumba, a dance-based fitness program that not only brings joy but also promotes well-being. But beyond the fun and fitness, their participation had a deeper purpose—to raise funds that will directly support rehabilitation efforts for Haitians with disabilities.
At Healing Hands for Haiti, we believe in empowering local communities to lead their own rehabilitation initiatives. Our programs provide prosthetic and orthotic services, physical therapy, and vocational training to help individuals regain independence. Support from events like this Zumba fundraiser ensures that we can continue to serve those in need, especially in times of crisis.
The Impact of Grassroots Fundraising
At HHHF we are so appreciative of community-led initiatives like this one that help to sustain organizations like ours. Even small contributions can lead to significant change. The funds raised during the BYU Women of Color Club event will help provide essential resources, including:
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation services for those recovering from injuries or living with disabilities.
- Prosthetic and orthotic devices to restore mobility and independence.
- Training programs for local healthcare professionals to continue this vital work within Haiti.
By turning movement into momentum, the Women of Color Club has set a beautiful example of how advocacy, awareness, and action can work hand in hand to support global causes.
