The Salem Athletic Club supported Dance4Life as part of the Les Mills campaign to support us. This did brilliantly, raising an amazing $2500 and raising awareness about Dance4Life and HIV. Congratulations to all involved. Here is what Cheryl Polinsky from the club reported to us:

"The month leading up to the event we kept a donation box at the front and gave the incentive that two of our managers would join us on stage for BODYJAM if we raised enough money. Everyone was really excited that Charlie (sales manager) and Al (part owner/gym) were going to dance! We also posted event information and Dance4Life information all around the club to build the excitement!

"The day of we launched 4 of our Les Mills programs while holding a silent auction in the lobby. The classes were over capacity and the energy was through the roof. I know Dance4Life is about raising money for the education programs but it was exciting to bring this awareness to people who wouldn't normally think about it. Many particpants were asking questions about the organization and throughout the day we would give them details of what Dance4Life does. Awareness is a powerful tool!

We had the biggest BODYJAM class that Salem Athletic Club has ever had! The members went crazy when Charlie and Al hit the stage. For that one hour we were united with Dance4Life in the fight against HIV and AIDS and it was very powerful! We look forward to doing this again next year and hope to raise even more money for this great cause!"
