FWCS Study Connection will host Zumbathon 2015 from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 17, at North Side High School, 475 E. State Blvd. p.m. Registration is $20 at the door. Participants will be eligible for door prizes from Vera Bradley, El Azteca, Empower Sports Club, and Mad Ants. The event is sponsored by Summit City Fitness and A Party Apart.

Nine area Zumba instructors will lead the group of participants in two hours of dancing, sweating and fun in support of FWCS Study Connection. Zumba is a combination of Latin dancing and cardio-vascular workout. No previous Zumba experience is required for this event.

Proceeds from Zumbathon 2015 will benefit Study Connection, Fort Wayne Community Schools' after-school tutoring program that matches students with employees and volunteers at area businesses and organizations through the community. Students and tutors meet one hour once a week to provide academic assistance and mentoring to students who may not otherwise receive it.
