Breast Cancer Fundraiser Tomorrow

By  | 

    This Saturday, November 2, Central CrossFit is hosting Barbells for Boobs at Central Square (at the corner of Wax and Sullivan behind Menchie’s and Cane’s) from 8AM until 12PM.  This workout and fundraising event involves more than 45,000 participants across 1300 affiliates in 23 countries.  Barbells for Boobs is a non-profit organization with the goal to save lives through the early detection of breast cancer, regardless of one’s age, gender, or ability to pay.  It provides funding to pay for breast cancer detection services as a last resort for thousands of people who don’t qualify for assistance elsewhere.  The aim is to help anyone that needs it, anywhere, whether they are male or female, no matter what their age or situation in life.  Community members can participate in the Workout of the Day (30 clean & jerks for time).  The amount of weight you use will be based on your fitness level, so anyone can do it.  A $10 minimum donation is required to sign up for the workout at http://wodtogether.com/user/login.  Whether or not you want to participate in the workout, you can buy a t-shirt for $20 to support the cause at the above website address.  There is also a Central CrossFit fundraiser website where you can simply make a donation to Barbells for Boobs: http://fundraise.barbellsforboobs.org/fundraise/team?ftid=24951.  Learn more at Centralcrossfit.com/barbellsforboobs.  Please come out this Saturday in support of this cause.
