The founder of Fitness for a Cause is Mary Ann, a Filipino Cebuana who immigrated to Colorado, U.S.A. 2010. Feeling helpless in Philippine natural disasters devastating kids and their families, Mary Ann wanted to take direct action. An avid ZUMBA Instructor, Mary Ann started collecting toys & raising funds through ZUMBA events and sending boxes of toys and funds to her family in the Philippines who take the time to personally deliver aid and supplies to families in remote areas of the Philippines. Mary Ann has also held ZUMBA events across the Philippines, including remote local barrio communities where kids and families have a fun time through ZUMBA Fitness while toys and aid is delivered. A unique aspect of Fitness for a Cause includes the transparency and trust of where funds and donations go, particularly since Mary Ann and her family personally deliver basic necessities such as sacks of rice, canned goods, water etc. to families in need and also mainly give away toys to less fortunate children. Come join and support us as we make strides in helping and healing less-fortunate kids and families. CO Founder Arren Mendezona Allegretti was born and raised in the Cebu, Philippines. She immigrated to the United States for her undergraduate degree and returned to Cebu, to volunteer on community-based coastal management projects. Arren has worked in the field of community development, policy, education, and field ecology in California, Mongolia, Costa Rica, and Belize. Arren’s passion for her home country, its rich natural resources, and its people inspired her to pursue her master’s research on Local Perspectives of Coastal Policies, where she engaged fishers’ perspectives and local governments to better inform policy and management. Currently, Arren is pursuing a PhD in Ecology at Colorado State University. Arren enjoys swimming, cycling, trail running, and macro photography.
