The Miami Lakes Athletic Club presented a $500 check to the HDS Foundation in May. HDS Foundation in Miami Lakes provides mentoring services to teens and young adults who have autism-related disabilities. The fitness center sold scrunchies, pens, wristbands and hair ties at the front desk and also hosted a Zumbathon, where athletes donated $10 to participate, to raise money.
Elizabeth Falk, HDS Foundation program manager, said the foundation picked different days and classes to promote the foundation and spread awareness.
“We would have a table outside before class started and collected donations,” Falk wrote.
