Organized by the Wpg ZIN sistarz members – Zumba instructors Lucille Nolasco-Garrido, Janet Weiss, Maricar Dee, Elvie Conte, Neth Conte, Grace Garcia, Clarissa Del Rosario and Irma Quintos ­– the well-attended event also served as a fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba (CHFM).

With the help of sponsors, donors, supporters, friends and family, ZumbaYanihan 2023 was able to raise a total of $3,220 for the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba 

Paula Kreitz, Community Engagement Coordinator for CHFM said, “Your generous gift through your ZumbaYanihan Event will #GiveBetterFutures to sick and injured children in your community.

Support today from community members like you will go towards programs that provide comfort for families in hospital, leading-edge research at Children’s Research Institute of Manitoba, and lifesaving medical equipment.”

Attendees of the dance masterclass enjoyed lively Zumba dances and popular dance songs from the 80s, 90s and 2000s. There were raffle draws and special prizes as well as food and refreshments.
