SuperSlow Zone® Silver Creek, in San Jose, California, collected donations and held a silent auction to benefit Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence

San Jose, Calif. – December 18, 2008 – Clients at the SuperSlow Zone® Silver Creek showed their holiday spirit this December by donating clothes, toys, household items and cash, to help benefit the non-profit organization, Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence.  The SuperSlow Zone® facility was used as a drop-off point for donations from their clients and other members of the Evergreen community supporting Next Door’s annual Holiday Boutique event.  

Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence is a non-profit organization devoted solely to providing life-saving options and safety resources for victims of domestic violence and their children.  

“We filled up an SUV with toys, books, personal hygiene items, and more that have come out of the wonderful generosity of our clients and Evergreen neighbors” said SuperSlow Zone® owner and General Manager, Marie Ortiz.  “Many of those served by Next Door Solutions leave in a crisis, with little more than the clothes on their backs, and it’s just a wonder to have so many willing to give from their hearts to make their lives just a little bit easier during this economically challenging season.”  

In addition to donating items of need for victims of domestic violence and their families, SuperSlow Zone® held a silent auction to help raise funds for the group.  The clients were asked to bid on the ability to make the instructor of their choice work out on two machines of their choice.  The chosen instructor was General Manager Marie Ortiz, after a group of clients pooled their donations together to have the chance to work out the one that pushes them so hard week in and week out. 

“All I can say,” grinned Marie, “is that they might have gotten me on the weights THIS time, but I have them every week – so watch out!”
