Follow on Google News | Gospel Recording Artist, Bonita Burney Simmons, Announces Zumba Fundraiser For Her NonProfitArtist reaches out to community for Tried By Fire Inc. Proceeds to help benefit women post incarceration!
By: Tried By Fire, Inc. Gospel recording artist, Bonita Burney Simmons, and founder of Tried By Fire, Inc. says she is so excited about this event, "For our next fundraising efforts for Operation Outreach 2015, we wanted to do something different. What better way to raise funds while getting a good Zumba® workout! Some of us may not do Zumba®, but we love to move and we love being in the loop of what's going on in the world around us. What's going on is that many women are returning to a life of crime and are not able to survive in society post-incarceration. This has been going on for years, but this year we plan to make a difference in the lives of these women and to help reduce these recidivism rates." In 2000, Bonita began her journey of counseling and giving free concerts to inmates and those residing in mental hospitals. She soon realized that the recidivism rates of those who were repeat offenders was so great and that many of the inmates did not have a successful plan post-incarceration. Because of her obedience to God, it was then that Bonita began working on the goal to make an even greater impact by opening "My Sister's House." Tried By Fire Inc.'s vision is to educate, mentor, provide spiritual counseling and life skill resources in a temporary, residential setting for those women post-incarceration. To help accomplish this, Bonita is asking the community to either come out to support this fundraiser or to make a donation. Registration is required for this event by contacting at Violet (252) 635-0711 or Bonita (252) 637-2339. For those who are unable to attend but would like to contribute to this worthy cause, tax deductible donations can be submitted securely online at http://www.gofundme.com/ Event's Social Media Hashtags: #TriedByFireZumbaFundraiser #OperationOutreach2015 End
