‘Spin-a-thon’ coming to East Rockaway

On Sept. 11 and 12, ROK Health & Fitness in East Rockaway will host a fundraiser to benefit the 4th annual St. Jude’s Hospital Walk/ Run that will be held on Sept. 26 at Bethpage State Park. Members and non-members are invited to participate at both events.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is dedicated to the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other deadly diseases. The hospital is funded by donations.

“I volunteer for St Jude, and ROK Health and Fitness has been instrumental in helping me raise awareness and money for this deserving charity,” said Patti Mandel-Birnbaum. “This has become a wonderful annual community event with a tremendous amount of local support. I feel honored and privileged to be the captain of team ROK On, a St Jude Walk/Run committee member and part of the ROK family.”

“On behalf of everyone at ROK, we are looking forward to working hand in hand with St. Jude to put on an awesome event this weekend,” said Krista Risolo, ROK’s director of operations. “Our members, as well as the South Nassau community, have all come together to help support such a great cause.”

Classes will be held throughout the weekend and will include: On Friday, September 11: Zumba by Andrea 6:30 p.m.; 75-minute Power Spin by Marni 5:30-6:45 p.m.; 90-minute Power Spin by Tommy 7-8:30 p.m.

Saturday, September 12: Bella Forma Barre Pilates 9 a.m., by Carla; TRX Boxing Fusion 10:30 a.m. by Pat and Megan; 90-minute Power Spin by Tommy 11 a.m.; Alignment Yoga by Shazi, noon.

Each class is a special donation-only class. All classes are one hour, except where noted. Thirty raffles will be sold from Sept. 3-12 that were generously donated from restaurants, salon and merchants from East Rockaway and the neighboring towns.
