BOUNCE! TRAMPOLINE SPORTS AND NYACK HOSPITAL HAVE TEAMED UP TO "BOUNCE FOR BABIES"

Bounce! Trampoline Sports and Nyack Hospital have joined forces to host a fundraiser to support the Mother-Baby and Pediatric Units at Nyack Hospital. A fundraiser will be held on April 30th at Bounce! and the proceeds will go toward the purchase of new Sleeper Chairs which allow for a more comfortable stay for family members as they await the birth of a newborn in the Mother-Baby Unit, or are caring for a child in the Pediatric Unit.

"We are excited to host this fundraiser at Bounce!" states Danny Fried, co-owner of Bounce! Trampoline Sports in Valley Cottage. "More than 60,000 people have enjoyed Bounce! since we opened and many of them are children born at Nyack Hospital."

The fundraiser will take place from noon until 8:00 pm on Monday, April 30th. Mommy and Me type classes will be held from 12 – 2 on the hour and half hour so that moms with young children can do aerobics exercises and games on the trampoline with their children. From 2 – 8 pm on there will be open bounce time for anyone who would like to participate.

Special tickets will be sold by Nyack hospital at a cost of $20.00 for two hours of jump time and can be purchased in advance at Nyack Hospital at www.events.org/bounceforbabies  or at the door on the day of the event. The special Sleeper Chairs cost $1,500 each and the fundraiser is expected to raise enough money to purchase at least two beds.

"Bounce! Has become an important part of the Rockland County community not only because of the exercise and healthy activity it provides for children and adults but because of the way in which they have helped so many organizations raise funds. We are very happy to be working with them to enhance the comfort of our patients and visitors," stated Mary Fiore, Director of Special Events for Nyack Hospital.

Bounce! offers the opportunity to play sports, have fun and get fit on enormous courts of interconnected trampolines. According to Fried jumping on trampolines is one of the best physical workouts ever devised. It has been proven to tone muscles, burn fat, and reduce stress.
