Break A Sweat To Alleviate Poverty!

Work out for a good cause - the Whole Planet Foundation's 2014 prosperity campaign! The Whole Planet Foundation strives to alleviate poverty in developing countries where Whole Foods Market sources products by providing microloans. The average first loan is just $175, and helps an individual start a small business and ensure sustainable living conditions for their family.

Fitness Revolution Pasadena has partnered with Whole Foods Market Pasadena to raise funds toward this cause. For a suggested $10 donation, you have the chance to work out during a 30 minute session and take another step toward a healthier life. Not only that, but for a $50 donation, Fitness Revolution will offer two weeks of free training (a $109 value!). It gets better, though. If you donate $100, Fitness Revolution gives you four weeks of free training (a $109 value!).

All proceeds go toward the Whole Foods Market Pasadena store goal of $15,500. We encourage you to take part in this community event by signing up for one of the half-hour sessions, where water and snacks will be available. Suja juice, Roots hummus, and Rise Bar will all be present with product for those who participate.

Donations will be taken at the event. With freebies, music, and working out to alleviate worldwide poverty, this is sure to be a good time!

Please contact Marketing at Whole Foods Market Pasadena for further information: 626-351-5994 or sp.pas.marketing@wholefoods.com.
