Causes for Community, Community Outreach Program
ACE developed and implements a local community outreach program called Causes for Community. Causes for Community is a volunteer community outreach that helps raise money for various non-profit causes by offering donation-based spin yoga classes (30 minutes spin, 30 minutes yoga stretching) where 100% of the donations from the class go towards the fund-raising cause. Causes for Community has helped caring Coloradans raise money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, The American Red Cross, The Children's Hospital, Hope Connects, Yoga for the People, and the National MS Society.
The Program also partners up with local and sustainable businesses to offer gift certificates to program participants. Causes for Community's past and upcoming causes can be found on Facebook at

If you are interested in partnering with Causes for Community as a community outreach effort or if you are interested in raising money through a Causes for Community spin yoga class, please contact ACE!
