American Cancer Society’s Pink Zumbathon

BY P.M. CAMPBELL

The American Cancer Society held their Pink Zumbathon and Resource Fair on Saturday, May 20, in the Dreiser Auditorium.

The Bartow Swingers opened the event with a dance number, asking audience members to join in. Bronx Executive Committee member, Alison Santiago, has been doing Zumba before the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk for about 15 years, and was Saturday’s lead instructor, joined by Tina Alonzo and Mayra Mira.

Jamaal T. Bailey, and Assemblyman Michael Benedetto distributed goods and refreshments along with Sylvan Learning, the Latino Commission, Black Woman Be Whole, and the American Cancer Society.

Clair Francis, local contact for Making Strides of the Bronx, announced that the Walk would be returning to Bay Plaza, “All you gotta do is cross the street this year,” she said. “Instead of a sea of pink, [I want to see] an ocean of pink.”
