RENAISSANCE ATHLETIC CLUB CELEBRATES 5-YEARS IN BENTON HARBOR

Community invited to anniversary party open house on December 17

BENTON HARBOR, MI – DECEMBER 7, 2017 – Five years ago this month, Renaissance Athletic Club first opened the doors of its state-of-the-art fitness center. Almost immediately, the club found a following among enthusiastic fans, attracting members from the surrounding areas to its goal of “fitness through community.”

In fact, RAC’s first year in business proved so successful that the one-year anniversary celebration included a ribbon cutting for a brand new lap pool and turf training field. In the original five-year plan, President Sean Todman hadn’t expected to accomplish either of those milestones until the club had been open for several years.

RAC’s success extends beyond its membership and the facility’s walls. Since its opening, the club has created more than 65 jobs, provided sports performance training scholarships to area student-athletes and supported a number of local charitable causes.

Todman states, “I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve accomplished in the past five years. None of it would have been possible without the dedication of our staff or the support of our members and the community as a whole.”

In recognition of this milestone anniversary, RAC invites the community to celebrate with an open house “In da Club” on Sunday, December 17, 2017 from 1 to 4 PM. The celebration will include exclusive giveaways, staff and member recognitions, as well as refreshments provided by VIVI’S Italian Garden, Schu’s Grill & Bar, The Mark III Grille & Bar, Pizza Hut and Bread+Bar.

During the open house, Todman will introduce RAC’s new philanthropic initiative, The Renaissance YOUth Foundation. Through training, mentoring, academic guidance and scholarship assistance, the foundation seeks to help shape the next generation of athletes by providing the tools they need to succeed on the playing field and beyond.

Through February 15, 2018, the club is also offering a limited-time anniversary rate of only $59/month to new members. Please contact RAC for details.

Renaissance Athletic Club is located at 501 Graham Avenue, Benton Harbor, Michigan. For more information, please call (269) 927-1129, visit RAC’s website at racbh.com or connect on the RAC Facebook page.
