Nearly 100 people were dancing for a good cause Saturday.
Cynthia Parsons and her adopted daughter Kinsington founded the WV F.A.I.T.H. Foundation and organized a Zumbathon to raise funds for Mission West Virginia's FrameWorks Initiative, which aims at enriching the lives of children in foster care as well as recruit foster and adoptive families.
The event, hosted at the First Baptist Church of St. Albans, was donation-only, and 82 people participated, raising $600.
Several items were raffled and sold during the event.
Sarah McComas-Brown lead the Zumbathon along with several other instructors: Emily Ingle-Kendell, Korri Powers, Kellie Lewis, Kristin Miller, Carl Hariston and Megan Hannah.
Nearly 4,000 children are in West Virginia's foster care system, according to Carrie Robey with Mission West Virginia, and about 1,000 of them are legally eligible for adoption.
