Tired Of The Same Old Boring Fundraisers?

Tired of the same old boring fundraisers? 

I can help!    

I run an indoor charity boot camp every Saturday morning at 9:00 A.M.  All you need to do is reserve a date and start inviting people.

The workouts last approximately 45 minutes and include a warmup and a cooldown. 

Workouts involve primarily body weight and dumbbell exercises. All fitness levels are invited. Anyone, 12 and over, is welcome to participate.  (Kids must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.)

Exercises will be adapted or substituted, as necessary, so those who aren’t in great shape shouldn’t be afraid to join in.   

Each participant can pay a set amount and/or you can encourage them get sponsors. 100% of the money donated or raised by your participants goes to your charity. I donate my time, the equipment, and use of the facility- there is absolutely no charge to you or the organization.

Hang out with friends, have some fun, get some exercise and raise money for a worthy cause.  What better way to spend 45 minutes on a Saturday morning?

Call me today at (717) 509-7777 for all the details and to reserve your date.

My Scathingly Brilliant Idea

Anyone know where that title came from? Leave a comment below with the answer and, if you're right, I'll dig up some kind of prize.

Members, training clients and others often approach me about donating money to their cause or charity. Being a small business, I'm not in a position to support all the requests I receive. So, rather than upsetting anyone by picking and choosing between worthy causes, I simply focus on Body & Soul's main charity, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

I felt bad not being able to help. I've had/have members involved in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training, American Cancer Society's Relay for Life and the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. You really need to raise a lot of money to participate in those events. Right now, there's a local woman I "met" on Twitter who's raising money for Sarcoma research in memory of her late husband.

Anyway, on to the idea. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. Well I sort of did but I couldn't figure out how to effectively and successfully promote it that often by myself.


I'm going to start holding a charity boot camp training every Saturday morning. If you are raising money for a worthwhile cause, just reserve the date with me and then invite people. Your invitees will pay to participate and all money raised from them goes to your charity. I will be donating my time, the equipment and the space - there is no charge to you or the organization.

Call me at area code 717, phone number 509-7777 for more info or to get on the schedule. (If Skpe wants to convert our numbers to clickable links, they should stop screwing up my posts when I include the standard phone number format.)

I think this will work. I just wish I had figured it out sooner.

What do you think? Am I missing anything? If so, let me know in the comments section.

See Les Miz Tonight At The Fulton - Really, This Time

I screwed up.

The Les Miz tickets referenced in the post below were not for last night (Friday); they are for tonight (Saturday, June 13th at 8:00 PM). Yesterday morning the member who donated them told me "tonight" (or that's what I heard in my head) and I never even looked at the actual tickets until one of my training clients pointed it out to me.

So, the bidding begins anew. Oh well, at least some of you who were interested but not available can bid now. Just call me Pollyanna. :-)

These are great seats and you also get 2 drink coupons with them. The face value of each is $32 and I'm pretty sure they would be a lot more if they hadn't been purchased in a season ticket package.

I'll try to update the blog with the current high bid but I will be leaving Body & Soul at 12:00 noon. If it's after 12:00 and you want to bid, leave a message at the gym.

Remember, all proceeds benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.


The current high bid is $30.

See Les Miz Tonight At The Fulton

I have received 2 tickets to Les Miserables tonight at the Fulton and am auctioning them off to the highest bidder to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. A Body & Soul member generously donated the tickets and is also throwing in two free refreshment coupons.

According to the member, these are "the best seats in the house" (her and her late husband have been Fulton season ticket holders since the 50's).

How about it? Enjoy great entertainment while helping critically ill kids. It only opened last night and I've heard really good things about the show. The newspaper's review was very positive, too

If you're in the Lancaster area, please spread the word. Highest bid takes them.


As of now, the highest bid I have received is $50.


I will closing bidding at 4:00 PM so that the winner has plenty of time to get ready, pick up the tickets, etc. Post here, e-mail or call me at (717) 509-7777 by 4:00 with your final bid.

Cash only, please.
