At a fully packed TSL sports complex last Friday night, Saipan M2 Fitness Zumba donated $2,000 to the Tan Siu Lin Foundation and Saipan Soccer School.<\/p>\n

M2 Fitness president and Zumba Fitness coach Mary-Grace Bautista presented the check to Tan Holdings president and CEO Jerry Tan, who was joined by TSLF executive director Merlie Tolentino along with the crowd of usual Zumba-goers.<\/p>\n

Prior to the check presentation, Tolentino thanked the group and said, \u201cI want to thank all of you for your donation to our Saipan Soccer School. Usually, we\u2019re the one giving donations to different organizations but today is different. So, this is the first time a small organization like you is donating to us and we really appreciate that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tan then addressed the crowd and said that it was \u201creally nice to see not just a Zumba class, but a Zumba class with the same shirt uniform.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added that \u201cI feel that sport is really one of the best things that we all can do as residents in the Commonwealth to be healthier. I\u2019m sure you\u2019re doing it for the same reason. So, to see Zumba not only this class, actually, I see different Zumba classes. And I\u2019m really glad that everyone is exerting effort and consistently showing up. And then also, I guess it\u2019s growing. So, I want to congratulate all of you for doing this on a regular basis and consistent basis. I just want to say keep it up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He then looked around the complex and said, \u201cwe built this facility to promote this\u2026 I\u2019m not sure who\u2019s playing but as long as it\u2019s being used. I\u2019m happy, right? Badminton, soccer, basketball, doesn\u2019t matter what it is, as long as we are out here, exercising, and sweating. So, I want to congratulate all of you and just ask all of you to keep it up. This is really, really good work. And I\u2019m really, really happy. I\u2019m sure you guys worked hard to raise the money\u2026 But we\u2019re grateful and keep it up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Bautista then handed the check to Tan and Tolentino and said, \u201cthis amount was raised not only by the committee of M2 Fitness but by these people that you see in front of you, they\u2019re the reason why we\u2019re able to\u2026 fund the donation to TSL Foundation and NMI Museum. Thank you so much. This is just a small amount that we can give back and in return from the M2 Fitness family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, M2 Fitness celebrated its second anniversary with two Filipino dancer\/actors, Wowie De Guzman and Joshua Zamora, who both led the M2 Zumba group during their Zumba routine at Saipan World Resort\u2019s Royal Taga Ballroom, with the proceeds of the event benefiting the NMI Museum and the TSL Foundation.<\/p>\n
