On Sunday, May 18, more than 500 individuals and teams of all ages and walks of life joined LBBC on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Participants experienced the healing benefits of this ancient form of physical movement while raising over $60,000 for LBBC’s education and support programs.

About Yoga Unites

Our program began with the inspirational story of two-time breast cancer survivor and yoga instructor Sandy Ward followed by a yoga class for people of all ages and skill levels led by instructor Jennifer Schelter. During the class, the musical group Samadhi Kirtan performed Kirtan chanting, one of the oldest musical traditions. Afterward, participants enjoyed a light breakfast and live entertainment while browsing our Healthy Living Expo featuring a wealth of information on fitness, natural cosmetics, healthful foods and other complementary goods and services.

Congratulations to our top fundraisers John Turino, Beatrice Marx and Ari Bogom-Shanon, and a big thank you to all who participated, volunteered and donated funds for this inspiring event. LBBC is especially grateful to lead sponsors Aetna, Innovation Printing, Philadelphia City Paper, Whole Foods and Yoga Schelter; associate sponsors Bucks Magazine and MAINLINE Magazine, Devon Hiking Spa, Merck, Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News, Rubbermaid and White House | Black Market; and small business patrons Fiji Water, Fleur’t, La Colombe, Liberty Sports Magazine, Lucy, lululemon athletica, PhillyFIT Magazine and The Container Store.
