11th Annual Toys for Tots Zumbathon – My Final Year Hosting, Tradition Cont

Join us for our 11th annual Toys for Tots Zumbathon Christmas Toy Drive! This event has always been one of the most joyful, high-energy, and meaningful celebrations of the year — and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.

To reserve your spot, we ask for:

✨ A $10 donation (to be contributed to a local charity)

✨ A new toy valued at $10 (to be donated to and picked up by the U.S. Marines Nassau County, Long Island Toys for Tots chapter)

Your kindness helps bring smiles to children in need, and every year you all show up with so much generosity and heart. 💖

❤️ A Special Announcement

This Zumbathon will be my final year hosting the Toys for Tots Christmas toy drive. As many of you know, I moved to Florida over five years ago and I’ve continued planning, organizing, and carrying this event from afar because it means so much to me.

Now, I’m entering a new phase of life, and I feel it’s the right moment to pass the baton so this beautiful tradition can continue to grow with fresh energy and leadership. This decision isn’t because I don’t love this cause — I truly do — but because I want to make sure it stays strong, sustainable, and successful for many more years to come.

I will absolutely still visit, dance, and participate in Christmas Zumba fundraisers (and other fundraisers!) whenever I’m in town. So this isn’t goodbye — it’s just a shift in the journey. ❤️

👟 Let’s make this final one extra special

Bring your friends, bring your holiday spirit, and let’s fill the room with joy, sweat, music, and generosity — just like we always do.

Thank you for 11 unforgettable years of dance, community, and giving.

Let’s make this year one to remember. 🎄💃❤️
