At Tapestry 360 Health (T360H), we believe that health care doesn’t stop at the doctor’s office. It continues in the communities we serve—through movement, connection, and support. That’s why in January 2019, we launched free weekly Zumba classes in Rogers Park to promote not only equitable access to care but also to create a safe space for joyful movement and community healing.

What began as a single class quickly grew into a vibrant, in-demand program. In response to community needs, we expanded to two classes per week in Rogers Park and later launched a third class in Albany Park, increasing accessibility for more families. In 2024 alone, 188 unique individuals joined our Zumba community.

But this program is more than fitness—it’s a lifeline.

Our Zumba classes have become a gateway to wellness. T360H staff regularly connect with participants to sign up new patients, guide them through the healthcare system, and refer them to additional support services. These moments—built on trust and shared joy—have transformed lives.

Annual surveys show that participants experience:

• Improved sleep
• Reduced anxiety, depression, and stress
• Greater ability to manage chronic conditions
• Stronger social connections and a sense of belonging

One participant shared:

“When you move to a new city, especially in a different country, maintaining good mental health is very important. Zumba has helped me manage anxiety and feel more confident in my new environment. Building a sense of safety and connection with others through activities like this has been incredibly helpful.”

Unfortunately, this essential program is at risk.

Due to recent financial challenges, we are in urgent need of support to sustain and grow our Zumba program. That’s why we’re calling on our community to help us raise $10,000. Your contribution—no matter the amount—goes directly toward keeping these classes free and accessible to all.

Here’s how you can help:

• Make a one-time donation today
