Be the Light With the Help of This Month’s Karma Cause

By News

May Karma Cause Veterans Support Veterans Recovery Resources Mobile ALMemorial Day is this month, and what a special time to remember the ultimate sacrifices our service men and women–and their families–have made.

In memory of them, we are asking you to join our May karma cause and “Be the Light” in our community for veterans.

We want to highlight and support Veterans Recovery Resources, which provides a unique by-veteran, for-veteran approach in delivering counseling, physical therapy, medical care and more. They are also one of our valued community partners!

Please help us support their much-needed role in being the light to one of the largest concentrations of veterans in the country.

You can “Be the Light” by joining us for a special 60-minute original hot yoga class on Monday, May 13. This class will be open to the public in exchange for a donation to Veterans Recovery Resources.

Sterling members are welcome to make donations to this worthy cause as well. If you can’t make it to the designated karma class, but want to make a donation, we will be accepting them through the end of the month.
