SOLON, Iowa (IOWA’S NEWS NOW) — A morning of physical fitness helped raised thousands of dollars for mental health on Saturday in Johnson County.
A big crowd packed into Versa Solon for a 40-minute small-group workout for the gym’s second annual “You Matter” fundraiser.
Teams of three completed circuits of cardio and strength exercises in a show of support for people navigating silence battles and in memory of those lost to mental health struggles.
Organizers say around 150 people signed up for Saturday’s workout. The first year of the event brought 80-90 people.
Between donations and silent auction bids, the morning raised $5,700 for Foundation 2 Crisis Services.
