Pakenham resident and founder of Tranzform with Dance, Renee Kendall hosted a Christmas-themed Zumba fundraiser on 14 December at the Pakenham Library Public Hall.

The event also featured a raffle with three prizes and they raised $651.70 to support local charity, Have Hope Inc.

The event brought together people of all ages to dance the afternoon away to popular Christmas tunes, including a special appearance from Have Hope Inc founder, Bobo.

“Participants left not just feeling great from having a fun dance workout but with a sense of community spirit and knowing it will help those local in our community. I loved seeing all the colour and xmas spirit in the class, as everyone took the time to get dressed up for it,” Renee said.

“I hope for next year to be bigger as I will continue to do this event every year. I look forward to adding more fundraiser events to the calendar for 2025.”
