It's not secret that the budget is tight in the City of Pittsfield, and perhaps even more so for Pittsfeld Public Schools. A nonprofit spear headed by Berkshire County educators, The Pittsfield Education Foundation, is working to raise money for teachers to better serve their students, this time with a full day and night of fitness and wellness.

The PEF is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of Pittsfield Public School children and their teachers and has funded teacher grants for educators to pursue curriculum development, attend trainings and national conferences.

Their event coming up tomorrow, Saturday Nov. 3, is a day-long Wellness & Fitness Fest, at Berkshire Yoga Dance and Fitness, 55 North Street, Pittsfield, filled with fun, soul-nourishing dance, fitness and yoga classes from 9am - 6pm. In addition, there will be a number of informative talks and lectures given by area doctors and wellness professionals.

The event continues in the evening with the Gypsy Jazz Ambassadors  performing live music in the studio space from 7:30pm-9:30pm. Kelly’s Package Store will run a cash bar and there will be various appetizers offered from local restaurants.

Forty dollars will get you VIP Unlimited Classes and Lectures, as well as admission to the after party.  If you'd like to skip the classes and just attend the party, it's just twenty bucks. All proceeds will go directly towards PEF.

In addition to the classes and after party, there will also but lots raffles with great prizes including massage gift certificates and dinner's out.
