San Diego, CA, Sept. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Studio SWEAT (SS), the San Diego-based fitness studio, as well as its online service Studio SWEAT onDemand (SSoD), hosted their hit charity event, SWEAT Gives Back, on September 25 – 26, 2021. This year, the 24-hour Spin® ride was titled ‘The Hero Ride’, with all proceeds going to the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), an organization that provides comfort, care and resources to survivors of military loss.
Since 21 survivors connect with TAPS every single day, their fundraising goal was set at $12,121, which would have been enough to provide many families with grief support, care and resources. However, this year, not only did they surpass their goal — they more than doubled it — raising an incredible $26,581 for the organization. In response to the news, Director of Impact Assessment and Research for TAPS, Dr. Chantel Dooley said, “We are so appreciative and grateful of all of the ways that the Studio SWEAT family have honored the lives of America's fallen heroes." TAPS survivor Macarena Cardenaz, who’s husband was killed while serving, leaving her with 3 small children added, "Because of the support provided by Studio SWEAT, the TAPS mission can continue, helping more families grieve, with the comfort that they can create new memories, one day at a time."
The event was a hit with riders donating online, and sponsoring their family and friends, as they rode with SSoD trainers. Those who could not ride in person were invited to join the livestream on the SSoD website.
After the event, Founder and CEO of Studio SWEAT and SSoD, Cat Kom said, “We’ve always been supportive of the men and women in our armed forces, and TAPS brings so much positivity to those who have lost so much.” Brian LaRose, trainer and CFO of SSoD, also stated, “We are so proud of our worldwide community who rallied together to give back to an organization with such an honorable mission. They proved once again that the power of the human spirit is alive and well."
