Join Us for a Donation Class In Memory of Alyssa Rose Wiest

Our friends at LOVE Fitness Studio are hosting an impactful donation class in support of Alyssa Rose Wiest, a 25-year-old Conshohocken resident and microbiologist at GSK who tragically lost her life to domestic violence in May.

This class will offer a healing space to bring awareness to the issue of domestic violence while nurturing physical, emotional, and mental well-being. You are invited to wear purple in solidarity and support of domestic violence survivors.

All proceeds from this event will benefit the STEM scholarship fund in memory of Alyssa Rose Wiest. This offering is designed for survivors, supporters, and anyone impacted by domestic violence.

Laurel House will be in attendance. Following class, we’ll hold space for open conversation for those who feel called to share.

Registration is OPEN! Join us on September 25th, 2025, for our Breaking the Silence Breakfast at The Belle at Blue Bell Country Club.
