On
Saturday, November 17, 2012, Paramount Sports Complex hosted a Zumba class to help
raise funds for Lebanon County Special Olympics’ gymnastics team. Lebanon
County Special Olympics has been participating in the sport of gymnastics for
four years. The gymnastics team, which consists of seven boys and seven girls, is
currently training Thursday and Friday evenings at Paramount Sports Complex, crafting
their skills in the sport and preparing for upcoming competitions.
Individuals
could participate in the extended Zumba class for a $5 donation to Special
Olympics. Those who participated could also purchase raffle tickets for various
items and a lucky few went home with door prizes as well. Organized by their
coach Natalie Stramowski, the event raised $605 for new gymnastic
uniforms.
Lebanon County manager Joan Sechrist was on hand for the event. “These funds are crucial to help support the development of our athletes,” says Sechrist. “It was a great turnout, and we are so happy to have the support of Paramount Sports Complex.” Paramount Sports Complex is already a big supporter of Special Olympics, as they continue to donate facility space for training. The Zumba event further illustrated their commitment to Special Olympics and to the community.
