Team Sh;ft Happens

At Sh;ft, we’re organizing an all-day series of fitness classes to raise funds for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) as a tribute to our beloved member, Ali’s brother, Paulie.

This event will include light refreshments, raffle items from Sephora and Lululemon, and an appearance by DJ Kennedy from Mix 104.1. Please bring your energy and your friends! Classes will be held every hour between 8AM to 1PM for 30 minutes.

To participate in a class, there is a registration fee of $30. This registration fee includes an automatic $15 donation to NAMI as well as one raffle ticket for a Sephora gift bag or a gift from Lululemon. Please sign up on this site and venmo your registration fee to @shiftstudios.

From Kris Fabbri, owner of Sh;ft:

This event holds deep personal significance for me, as I know firsthand the profound impact mental illness can have on families. I lost my older brother Dennis to suicide when I was just 11, and I’ve watched my mother navigate Bipolar 1, with several other siblings also struggling with severe mental health challenges. The pain and challenges are unimaginable, but they also fuel my commitment to support those affected by mental illness.

Mental illness affects millions, but it often feels isolating, leaving many without the resources and support they need. NAMI is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to improving the lives of all those affected by mental illness and provides education, advocacy, and support that can make all the difference, and through this fundraiser, we hope to raise both awareness and funds for this crucial work. For me, action is the best way to connect and feel empowered in supporting others.

This event is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a way to honor the memory of loved ones and offer a beacon of hope to those facing similar struggles.
