Nearly 200 zumba lovers got to shake it for a good cause Thursday night as they raised money for colorectal cancer.

The Shake Your Booty event is now in its second year. It is a three-hour dance marathon, which raises money for cancer research and prevention.

Cancer survivor and event chair Maria Lento said colon cancer is the No. 2 killer among Canadians, next to lung cancer.

She added that the Shake Your Booty event is a fun way to raise money and awareness.

The event featured zumba, salsa, latin dance and some special performances.

More than $14,000 was raised to combat colon cancer.
