MIDDLETOWN — Donations can be made per squat or via a flat contribution.

Either way, the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition benefits from the Squat for a Cure fundraiser on Sept. 14.

Butterfly Effect Studio for Training owner Walter Sellers organized the event to be held at his business at 415 E. Main St. It begins at 10 a.m. and runs for 60 minutes.

During that hour, 15 participants will complete as many bodyweight squats as possible. Anyone interested in taking part can email info@bestindelaware.com.

Donations can be as low as 25 cents per squat and studio clients and Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition members will perform the exercise for their sponsors.

“Obviously it’s something that affects women and my gym is focused on women’s health. So we want to make sure we can do something that’s impactful for the community,” said Mr. Sellers.

One of the studio’s clients is a breast cancer survivor and Mr. Sellers said the cause “is something that’s near and dear to (all our members).”

Noting that breast cancer “plagues women across the world,” Mr. Sellers said “We hope in Delaware we can get funds directly to the women here and make a difference.”

Mr. Sellers said corporate sponsorship will be announced in the future.

It will be part of the studio’s one-year anniversary celebration that day. The business opened in July 2023 and Mr. Sellers said membership has quintupled to more than 300 clients since then.

“If we reach up to 500 members, we’ll probably look at getting a bigger space somewhere in Middletown,” he said.
