The Fessenden Center in Buxton will host its 5th annual Fit-A-Thon fundraising event for the Hatteras Island Cancer Foundation on Saturday, October 14.
The annual event features non-stop fun from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. with both in-house and guest instructors offering a variety of fitness classes and intensities including yoga, boot camp, kickboxing, shake rising, qigong, and so much more.
This year, the event will also have a Round Robin-style Pickleball tournament. Come for a class or stay all day with a recommended donation of $20.00 where 100% goes to the HICF. There will also be raffles, prizes, snacks, shirts, and contests, which are all for a great, local, cause!

Founded in the year 2000, the HICF provides assistance to local residents dealing with cancer to help with needs such as travel expenses, prescriptions, and medical supplies, as well as medical bills that are not covered by insurance. Since its inception, the HICF has assisted hundreds of islanders with cancer and their families with grants in excess of $1,000,000.
