CrossFit Fundraiser for families of the Ft. Hood tragedy

CrossFit Fundraiser for families of the Ft. Hood tragedy

Many in the CrossFit community were affected by the tragic shootings at Fort Hood, but none as directly as one of our affiliates, Lumberjack Crossfit .  Four members of that affiliate were killed.

CrossFit is launching a hero WOD fundraiser for our four fallen Soldiers. On December 5th, we are asking affiliates and individuals to do two things: participate in the workout (as a display of solidarity with Lumberjack CrossFit) and to reach out to family, friends, and strangers to donate whatever you can.

On Saturday December 5th at 10:00am sharp, CrossFit Cleveland will be hosting the Lumberjack 20 WOD for individuals wishing to participate and show their support. Please let me know if you plan on attending so we can be prepared for the crowd. This event will be in addition to the workout of the day for members during our normal Saturday hours of 8:30am until 11:00am. If you don't choose to participate in this fundraiser, you are still able to do the regular workout that morning.

Here is our official Project LumberJack Crossfit fundraising page. All donations go directly to the cause.  Your support is greatly appreciated.
