Helping the Angel Tree Grow, presented by Genesis Fitness Centre
Genesis Fitness Centre, a full service club located in Harleysville is helping our local children in need by hosting a Holiday Gift Drive! The drive is geared towards benefitting the Boys & Girls Club, It’s simple, just come in to Genesis Fitness Centre and pick one name tag off of the tree. Take that name tag to the front desk where you will be asked to register for the child you’ll be providing a much deserved gift to. Purchase the gift that is already picked out and written down on the tag, then come back and drop off the gift with an Angel tag (provided). Gifts must be returned by Friday, December 4th. When all is said and done the entire process with shopping included, might take about an hour or two. A short time to make what will be an immense difference in the lives of local children in need. Genesis Fitness Centre of Harleysville would like to thank our community for any help they can get![/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
