SUFFOLK COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

RAISES $4500 + FOR LOCAL NON PROFIT WITH A SPIN-A-THON

 

Strength for Life is a grassroots nonprofit providing FREE exercise classes and wellness retreats for cancer patients/survivors on Long Island.

 

On April 17 at the Selden Campus and April 18 at the Brentwood Campus from 7 am – 7 pm spin instructors held classes every hour to benefit Strength for Life. The Founders of Strength for Life, graduates of the Fitness Specialist Program at SCCC Ammerman Campus, are blessed to be chosen as the beneficiary of this 2013 event.

 

The Department of Physical Education on each campus organized the event and did an outstanding job of promotion to support the Strength for Life organization and the programs offered at NO COST to cancer survivors.

 

Strength for Life just celebrated its’ 9^th Wellness Retreat at the Hyatt Windwatch hosting 20 survivors to a full day of healing complementary therapies, incredible guest speakers an overnight stay, meals and a hike on the last day. The $4500 raised by SCCC will sponsor the 10^th Wellness Retreat in September 2013.

 

Classes are held in East Meadow; Seaford; Bay Shore; Stony Brook and Port Jefferson and continue to add locations with interested participants.

 

Strength for Life will speak at cancer support groups extolling the benefits of exercise during treatment and in recovery. Since the 2010 American College of Sports Medicine revised guidelines there are numerous studies on the benefits of adding exercise to the treatment plan.
