Studio City Filipina Trainers to Hold Charity Event for Typhoon Victims

It has been more than a week since the Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), one of the strongest storms recorded in history, struck the Philippines. With currently more than four million people displaced and in need of food, shelter and water, the Philippine Red Cross is already on the ground and serving.

In Studio City on Sunday you can get involved to help the victims.

Sweat it out with Jocelyn Cruz of JoZ KnowZ Burn N Shed and Rae Toledo Latsch of Dance it Out on Sunday, Nov. 24 for a two hour workout starting at 11:30 a.m.

The charity event will be held at Tumble Kick, 12655 Ventura Blvd on the second floor (above Pinz Bowling Center). While the event is free, Cruz and Toledo humbly ask for donations throughout the workout.

“The people of our beautiful home country are experiencing one of the greatest devastations they have ever known. Though it seems we are a million miles away, we can still help,” said Toledo. "Please join Joz and me as we sweat for a cause. No donation is too small. Let's help these amazing survivors triumph over this tragedy!"

All proceeds from the event will benefit the survivors through the Philippine Red Cross.

The Philippine Red Cross is the premier humanitarian organization in the Philippines. They are committed to providing quality life­saving services that protect the life and dignity especially of indigent Filipinos in vulnerable situations.

"With Los Angeles County being home to the largest population of Filipinos in the country, we feel the need to help our brothers and sisters in the Philippines," said Cruz. "And we ask you to continue praying for their strength."
