BuyPlaya and FurnitureMEX Host Zumbathon for Charity
On Friday December 14, 2012 BuyPlaya Real Estate Advisors and
FurnitureMEX will host a Holiday Zumbathon to support the efforts of Christmas
Dreams Playa. This fun community event will take place in the sports facility
located on Av. 20 and CTM, beginning at 6:00pm and ending at 8:00pm.
"We have invited Zumba instructors from around the world to
participate in this Zumba marathon which we hope will become and annual event."
said Zumbathon organizer Mary Martinez "The cost to participate is just 25 mn
because we want everyone to be able to join in the fun! 100% of the funds
collected are going to the charity."
Since 2000, a group of kind-hearted Playa del Carmen residents
has helped local non-profits connect with those who need a little extra
attention during the Holiday season. In years past, this group has helped
organize the collection and distribution of thousands of Christmas presents for
disadvantaged and special needs children. The group also provides warm blankets
and essential non-perishable food items for at risk families and vulnerable elders
in the community. During the 2011 Holiday season, over $86,000 mn worth of presents,
school supplies and essentials were distributed by Christmas Dreams Playa.
BuyPlaya and FurnitureMEX staff will be on hand receiving
donations of toys, warm blankets and non-perishable food items to distribute to
Playa del Carmen's most disadvantaged families. For more information about the
event and how you can contribute to Christmas Dreams visit the Zumbathon for Charity
