Shape's 6th Annual Pilates for Pink

Go Pink and join Shape magazine for the 6th annual Pilates for Pink + fundraiser for the fight against breast cancer, the most common form of cancer in women. This national awareness initiative kicks off this fall and provides participants with a variety of ways to join in. No matter how you choose to contribute, Pilates for Pink + is an interactive way to have fun and get involved in the cause! Shape has partnered with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF) in an effort to raise awareness and funds for life-saving breast cancer research. As the leading lifestyle magazine helping to influence women to lead better lives, Shape, with the help of BCRF, a not-for-profit organization, together are dedicated to preventing and finding a cure for breast cancer by funding worldwide research. Since the programs inception in 2005 over $675,000 in donations has been raised, and we are excited to increase the number in 2011. Editor-in-Chief, Tara Kraft stated, ’Shape is proud to be contributing to the search for a cure for breast cancer by producing Pilates for Pink + for the 6th year in a row. This nationwide initiative will continue to raise awareness for one of the most important health issues that face women today. Further, this fundraiser reinforces exercise as a key component to leading a healthy lifestyle.’ The New York City event will be held in Union Square Park North on Sunday, October 2nd from 9am-5pm. Shape up for a cause with group Pilates classes taught exclusively by the pros at Equinox Fitness Clubs. This year, Shape is taking our annual event and pumping it up with a variety of new classes created to give your body a jolt of ’pink power.’
