Twisty Sisters hold toy benefit for kids in need

Twisty Sisters Fitness is holding a Zumba Toy Drive this Friday to benefit underprivileged children in Polk and Henderson Counties.

Twisty Sisters’ owner Tonya Lindsey, former sergeant with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and former Saluda Police Chief, said since she is no longer involved in law enforcement she misses being a part of helping area children during the holidays.

“I’m helping peoples’ bodies and minds, but not helping the community like I used to,” Lindsey said.

Local toy run director Barry Gee will handle delivery of the toys raised on Friday.

There will be no charge for the Zumba class this Friday, but participants can bring a $10 donation or a new, unwrapped toy of the same value to participate in the class.

All proceeds will be distributed to children in need in Polk and Henderson Counties.

There will be Zumba instructors from both counties participating in Friday’s classes to be held from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Twisty Sisters Fitness is held at the Upward Community Center, located at 5749 Howard Gap Road, Flat Rock.
