DAC Hosts National Fundraising Event

DAC's 2010 Fundraising Ride Participants

DAC raised more than $1,200 for the Ride 2 Recovery program through its participation in Spinning Nation's national fundraising event, held at the DAC Fitness location in Collierville.

"We're thrilled to see the level of member participation in our second annual fundraising ride," said Robert Creech, president of DAC. "Once again, our members committed their time and energy to raise money for a great cause. With their help, we're able to more than double the donation we made last year."

Last year, 17 riders participated in the first Spinning Nation fundraising ride, which benefited the Lance Armstrong Foundation and Athletes for a Cure: Prostrate Care Foundation. The club raised more than $500 for the charities.

This year, a group of more than 20 riders, led by DAC Group Fitness Director Vivian Reesman, participated in an eight-week training course, which culminated in the three-hour, final fundraising ride. More than 100 teams and 700 individuals participated across the country in the second-annual event. Spinning Nation 2010 is sponsored by SPIN Fitness, the global leader of indoor cycling, and is the only Spinning endorsed national fundraising event.
