Local Business Helps Raise over $130,000 for Charity

Aug. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Fitness Revolution International, a personal training franchise, has just completed an international charity campaign called “Revolution for a Cause.” Get Fit NH, a proud member of the Fitness Revolution Nation, participated in the fundraiser, which raised over $130,000 for charity.

Revolution for a Cause brought together the individual efforts of 50 different fitness businesses from the United States and even some international locations.  It ran from April 1st- June 30th.

The campaign was organized such that individual locations held their own charity drives and each could then donate that money to any charity of their choosing. The goal was to collectively raise $50,000 among all of the participating businesses.

By raising a cumulative total of over $130,000, Revolution for a Cause far exceeded its initial goal.

“We conceived of this as a way for franchisees to give back to the communities that have allowed them to thrive,” says Nick Berry, the President of Fitness Revolution.

“To exceed our original goal of $50K by over 2.5 times is something we never could have imagined,” said VP of Operations Tim Ward, who oversaw the campaign. “It really shows the people we work with have a passion for their communities.”

Among the contributors was local business Get Fit NH,  owned by Dean and Nancy Carlson. They raised $5050.

“Without people like Nancy & Dean none of this would have been possible.” said Pat Rigsby, CEO.

The money Get Fit NH raised went to the Payson Center for Cancer Care at Concord Hospital and the Concord Public Safety Foundation.

“Our clients always step up to the plate and are incredibly generous and supportive of the incredibly worthy causes we have the privilege to support” Dean Carlson says.
