January 16, 2010 (La Mesa) - Roy Springer, MD, a doctor with Center for Family Health in La Mesa, has presented an $11,000 check to the challenge Center, a nonprofit fitness club in La Mesa dedicated to helping people with disabilities achieve independence.

“This give will provide a lot of health and life skills for those most often overlooked in these areas,” said Challenge Center president and founder Bill Bodry.

 

The center helps adults and children with long-term disabilities to stay healthy and independent for life. Bodry added that he and his staff were overwhelmed by “this group of angels” offering a random act of kindness.
 

Funds for the donation were raised through a Halloween musical event titled at “4th and B”, a popular San Diego night spot, with efforts led by Springer’s team of volunteers led by administrative director Rhonda Frisbie. Participating bands included A Dull Science, Dead Flowers, The Corvells, Ronnie Peer, and Mason James.
