Party in Pink™ is a global movement dedicated to raising funds for the fight against breast cancer. Through Zumbathon™ charity events hosted by licensed Zumba® instructors, we celebrate and honor our friends and family navigating breast cancer… one shuffle at a time.
A Zumbathon™ charity event is just like the Zumba class you love with the proceeds benefiting a certain cause — in this case, breast cancer prevention. All funds raised support The Zumba Global Research Grant for Breast Cancer Prevention, managed by Susan G. Komen®.

From now until the end of 2019, Germany will be celebrating a year of German-American friendship knowing that the United States and Germany are Wunderbar Together ― stronger as friends and partners.
A centerpiece of ‘WunderbarTogether / The Year of German-American Friendship’ is its official roadshow: The PopUp Tour combines an impressive culture tent with mobile presentation modules, and various flexible pop-up edutainment elements. Programs range from business conferences, science slams, art exhibits, and concerts to interactive student-focused events. A culinary program enriches the PopUp Tour with an interactive presentation of traditional and contemporary dining and drinking culture from Germany. At the center of the PopUp Tour stands a showcase of German business. German business makes an important contribution to the U.S. economy through direct investment, advanced manufacturing, and high-quality job creation. Moreover, German-style apprenticeship programs offer promising and successful career paths for many Americans. The PopUp Tour highlights the many ways our two countries make each other stronger through our economic and business ties.
