SuperSlow Zone® at Silver Creek, in San Jose, California, recently hosted a successful and encouraging client appreciation event which benefited domestic violence charity organization, Next Door Solutions.

San Jose, Calif. – December 20, 2010 – In their continued support of Next Door Solutions’ annual Holiday Boutique event, the SuperSlow Zone® (SSZ) at Silver Creek extended their reach through their client base.  Acting as a drop-off point for donations, SSZ Silver Creek provided to their clients, as well as the community, a delivery point for gifts supporting the domestic violence charity organization. SuperSlow Zone® clients, and others from the community, contributed gifts to pack an SUV, and over $500 at their client appreciation event that was held on Friday, December 10^th.

During the event, the Silver Creek location of SuperSlow Zone® held a “blind auction” where clients had the opportunity to, “pay back” their instructors by working THEM out! The proceeds from the auction benefitted Next Door Solutions. One of these instructors was none other than owner and general manager, Marie Ortiz. “I’m so very grateful for the generosity of our clients and others who support this wonderful organization – even if it means my abs are doubly sore afterwards!” said Ortiz.

Marie continued, “Given the economic times, domestic abuse has been on the rise, so services from organizations like Next Door Solutions are very important.  I have a friend who, today, will be taking someone there to help her through a bad situation – NOT something you want to deal with during the holidays.”
