HAVE YOU SIGNED UP YET?! 

Are you busy on Saturday, September 25^th?

Go ahead and check your calendar…

If there’s nothing already on your calendar then you have the opportunity to take part in a CF workout to support some great charities.  The workout is Fight Gone Bad (described here).  It’s just like any other CF WOD that you’ve done since you’ve been coming to this awesome gym, but this is done to benefit others (and you get a great workout out of it as well).

We are wanting as many people as possible to participate, and not just CF Hendersonville members.  You can invite friends or family to participate as well.  Why do we want as many people to participate you ask?  For several reasons, but mainly to raise as much money as possible for the three charities:  LIVESTRONG, the Wounded Warrior Project, and the CrossFit Foundation (check them out).

Please consider taking part in this event.  All you have to do to participate is:

1.    Sign up at the gym on the list on the front wall;

2.    Register online at http://www.fgb5.org/ by clicking on Register (I saved you a step) and following the instructions (you will be led to the rapidgiving website, which is part of the fundraising company facilitating the donations for this event;

3.    Register under CrossFit Hendersonville as your team; and

4.    Get some donations (just $150 will get you an official T-shirt) by talking to friends and family through email, Facebook, or whatever means you like (donations may be made online on your personal fundraising page by credit card, PayPal, or check)

Did I mention that CrossFit Affiliates all over the world will be doing this on the same day, all raising money for these charities?  Over the past four years this event has raised over $2 million.  As I type this email the current total raised for this year alone stands at $241,220.

Thanks to those of you that have already signed up at the gym… if you haven’t registered online yet, then please do so.  Once you register, from your personal fundraising page, you can see the CF Hendersonville team page, which shows our gym’s current total to be $540!  That’s awesome, and I can’t wait to see how much we can raise by September 25^th.

It’s going to be a great event, and if for some reason your calendar is not full that day and you still cannot participate for some reason, then please come out and support those who are.  We may need volunteers to score athletes and cheer them on individually as well, more on that later.

What a great way to help others in a meaningful way, support the community of CrossFit, and spread awareness in our community about who we are and what we can do when we come together for a great cause. Look forward to seeing you there!
