Fitness students chip in to help local nonprofits

FALLBROOK – Wade into Fitness continued a nine-year tradition of giving back to the community this past holiday season. Each year, participants in the fitness classes chip in small donations that otherwise might have gone for a gift exchange for themselves and instead contribute those funds to a communal charitable donation.

"Candy cane" drawings are then held. The class member that pulls a specially marked candy cane in the drawing is allowed to select the charity to receive a Wade into Fitness holiday donation.

Charlene Fedorchak of the Fitness Fusion class and Barbara Cyran of the Healing Yoga class were the winners of the candy cane drawings this season. Fedorchak selected the Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary as the recipient of the Fitness Fusion class donation while Cyran selected the Fallbrook Child Development Center on behalf of the Healing Yoga class.

Past recipients include the Fallbrook Food Pantry, Wounded Warriors, Ronald McDonald House, Fallbrook Land Conservancy, and others.

"Little bits add up," said Ann Wade, the instructor. "These fitness classes not only work on healthy hearts, they have a healthy heart for their community. I'm blessed to work with them."
