The K21 Foundation recently awarded Syracuse-Wawasee Park Foundation the funds to equip the Syracuse Community Center with cardio equipment for its fitness room.

The equipment includes a recumbent bicycle, treadmill and elliptical machine.

The community center offers a variety of programs and activities designed to increase the level of fitness and wellness enhancing the quality of life enjoyed by the residents of Syracuse. Willis Alt, president of the K21 Foundation, said, "The focus of the K21 Foundation is to improve the health and wellness of a community. We are delighted to help Syracuse reach this goal through the purchase of this fitness equipment."

George Gilbert, K21 Foundation Board member, representing the Syracuse community, said, "As a local resident, I have had the opportunity to utilize this beautiful facility and look forward to watching it grow."

The Syracuse Community Center provides many opportunities for education, recreation and fitness. Fall programs begin Sept. 15. Please register in advance of class, as space is limited. For information, call the center at 457-3440.
