Next Weekend, April 30 and May 1, I hope to participate in the YMCA of Centre County's ZumbaThon. All proceeds will benefit the Strong Kids Campaign. I LOVE Zumba! It's such a FUN workout! I take a Zumba class at the YMCA twice a week. When I heard about the ZumbaThon I thought "this is a great idea -something fun that's excercise and it's for a good cause."
UPD: Since many have asked what's Zumba all about, here's a video..
So, how can I turn this into a giveaway contest? For every comment made on this post, I will donate $1 to the ZumbaThon! I am NOT asking for any money from you. I am just asking for your comments. The money will be coming from Happy Clippings. Although, I am going to set the maxmum donation to $60. As for the giveaway, read on...
The Giveaway: Up to (3) three $5 Amazon Gift Card Codes.
For every (20) twenty comments, Happy Clippings will give a $5 Amazon Gift Card Code away.
At least 20 comments - 1 Reader will win a $5 Amazon Gift Card Code!
At least 40 comments - 2 Readers will each win a $5 Amazon Gift Card Code!
At least 60 comments - 3 Readers will each win a $5 Amazon Gift Card Code!
NOTE: I am setting the giveaway at a maximum of (3) three $5 Amazon Gift Card Codes to be given away. BUT, please still enter even if it gets past 60 comments because your entry will still be valid for a $5 Amazon Gift Card Code!
The Event: ZumbaThon - There will be four one-hour classes held on both Friday, April 30 and Saturday, May 1, 2010. The cost is $10 per class or $30 for an entire day. All proceeds will benefit the Strong Kids Campaign. SO, I am thinking of paying the "$30 for an entire day" for both Friday and Saturday.
Now, am I going to be doing Zumba all 4 hours each day?!? That's a total of 8 hours of Zumba in 2 days - yikes!!! Ha...most likely NOT but it gives me some flexibility. If you are a local who is interested in doing the ZumbaThon, click HERE to register. There is also some information on Facebook for Friday, April 30 HERE and Saturday, May 1 HERE.
To ENTER to win the $5 Amazon Gift Card Code, leave a Comment on this post about anything. Really anything - how you want the Amazon Gift Card, talk about Zumba, coupons, how much you like Happy Clippings ;) - anything. Just enter. The more entries, the more Gift Cards to be awarded, but most importantly, the more money Happy Clippings will donate to the ZumbaThon which benefits the YMCA of Centre County Strong Kids Campaign.
NOTE: Only (1) entry per person.
You must be a U.S. resident to enter.
Giveaway contest is over on Thursday, April , 29 11PM EST. I will announce the randomly selected winners on the morning of April 30 via a separate post on this blog, facebook and twitter. Please check back to see if you're one of the winners! Winners must contact me by Sunday, May 2, 11PM EST to claim the prize or forfeits and I'll then pick a new winner. Please email me at happyclippings@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Thanks! Now, Go Enter...this is for a GOOD cause! Remember only (1) entry per person.
This is such a great idea! I love your website! Lori groovystruve@q.com

Great Idea and what a great cause! Love the YMCA and Happy Clippings! I've only done the one Zumba class, but it was lots of fun. Maybe I'll get to some zumba classes next year when both boys are in preschool.

I love the idea of donating to charity for each comment made...what a sweet thing to do. I work for fuel assistance, so I know how much donations can help non-profit agencies. Have fun!

Zumba is a great class. My YMCA here in Virginia has it. That room is always packed with ladies. I have never seen a man in there. I am not sure it would be as fun with a man in there.
