Forget the pumps. Dress code for this political fundraiser: t-shirts, Lycra, and sneakers
This may be a first. A political fundraiser by former President Bill Clinton on behalf of Presidential hopeful, Senator Hillary Clinton, held during a spinning class at SoulCycle spinning studio on the Upper West side in Manhattan.
Yes, you read right -- a fundraiser during a spinning class.
40 men and women paid $2,300 each to hear Mr. Clinton speak about good health care and take questions on behalf of his wife's presidential campaign. Though Mr. Clinton did not spin, according to the New York Times article "Bill Clinton Raises $70,000 Without Breaking a Sweat," he seemed to have accomplished the goal of informality and getting to hear people's thoughts/ praises/criticisms regarding Senator Clinton's campaign.
All in all, this was a great (and very creative) way to raise money, hear people's concerns, and combine health/wellness/healthcare (a strong focus in Senator Clinton's campaign) with politics.
