Thankfully, the world is waking from a very long Rip Van Winkle hiatus. During the pandemic, Fit 4 The Cause, Inc. continued exercising, energizing, entertaining, and engaging its two thousand plus service recipients throughout the longest lockdown in recent history through daily digital group fitness and nutrition programs.

Throughout restrictions, we mitigated isolation anxiety, stress, obesity, and fear through providing daily classes to our vulnerable children, fragile seniors, and adults with special needs.

Knowing that group exercise classes, stress management programs and nutrition education is especially important now for low-income populations, Fit 4 The Cause, Inc. doubled its class offerings adding programs with Conejo Parks and Recreation, Tri-Counties Regional Center, Engage Treatment Program and local hospitals serving healthcare workers.

Our staff and volunteers continue to provide friendship, coaching, confidence building, structure, healthy food preparation classes, and diverse physical activity.

Our super-active non-profit organization is in dire need of funding now, to cover our high- quality program costs including top-notch licensed instructors, insurance, communication and compliance. 2020 didn't allow for our usual active fun-raising shenanigans including muddy runs, 5000-meter swims, knockout boxing bonanzas, and four-event races.

ON AUGUST 15 TH OUR BOARD MEMBERS ARE CELEBRATING OUR RETURN TO FUN RAISING BY JUMPING IN THE LAKE! After all, water is the universal symbol of reawakening. Crowdfunding through our laps around Westlake we are committing to the GREAT KAYAK COMEBACK. Our Yak Attack paddling participants will commit to distance and speed, and we are hoping that you'll support this Cardi-Yak oriented effort.

Fit 4 The Cause, Inc. will continue its H20 theme throughout 2022, with our Gala set for May 7th, 2022 at The Westlake Yacht Club.
