“An astounding one in eight women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime. Shape magazine encourages everyone to join the #1 active lifestyle magazine this fall as the annual Shape Pilates for Pink initiative kicks off! This award-winning fundraiser enables one and all to get involved, get active and make a difference. Shape and The Breast Cancer Research Foundation(R) (BCRF), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to preventing and finding a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime by funding clinical and translational research worldwide, have teamed up to provide people across the country with a variety of ways to help to fight this life-threatening disease. Sign up for classes at any of the hundreds of Pilates studios nationwide that are taking part in this incredible cause. With a goal of raising $250 from each participating facility, individual donations of $10 or more to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation are required to take part in these special classes. Or you can host a Pilates for Pink class in your local studio or healthclub. Throughout the month of October 2009, Shape invites supporters to designate select Pilates classes as ‘Pilates for Pink’ fundraising classes. Visit www.pilatesforpink.com to find a participating studio in your area or to find out how to host a class of your own. Registration is open now for the event of the year - Pilates in the Park - Sunday, October 4th - Union Square Park in NYC from 9am-5pm. This event includes challenging, motivational and beneficial classes instructed by the pros at Equinox Fitness Clubs, the exclusive health club partner for Pilates for Pink. With last year's Union Square, NYC event selling out two weeks prior, additional classes have been added to accommodate the demand. Browse the class list and register online now at www.pilatesforpink.com and choose your favorites as each instructor brings a new spin to traditional Pilates. Each Pilates class requires a $25 donation to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and ticketed guests will receive their very own pink Pilates mat as well as an amazing product-packed swag bag filled with must-have products from event sponsors. The Union Square event is open to the public and day-of-event class ticket purchase is available (although pre-registration is highly recommended).”
