LONG BEACH, CA| SEPTEMBER 1, 2016 –  Built in 1921, the Long Beach Board of Education designated the American Avenue School as a junior high school and later that year renamed it Washington Middle School.  George Washington’s accomplishments as a successful military leader, president of the Continental Convention, and President of the United States of America made him an understandable choice for the many schools so named throughout the nation.

The Dumbell Man Fitness Equipment® (TDM) recently donated exercise equipment to the school’s physical education department. “It’s an honor and a privilege for TEAM DUMBELL MAN to support the community” stated Tony Medina, TDM logistics director. “I’m proud of our guys for working hard to install the equipment for the kids before the fall opening date.”

The equipment donation was another opportunity for employees to participate in the TDM “doing well by doing good” campaign to support local communities.  Since 1990 TDM has supported numerous schools, charities and nonprofit organizations throughout Southern California and Nevada.
