PHOENIX — A Valley gym donated $1,000 to the 100 Club of Arizona last week.

The gym decided to make the donation after the death of Phoenix Police Detective John Hobbs, who was killed in a shootout.

The donation was part of a promotion by Planet Fitness, who is working towards five million members nationwide. One gym member won $1,000 and a free membership for one year.

The 100 Club of Arizona provides financial assistance and other aid to the families of first responders who are killed on the job.

We want to hear from you.
