2020 Lift for Opportunity

UPDATE: Due to the current public health crisis and the state’s “Safer at Home” edict, we have postponed the Lift-a-Thon indefinitely. Below is the original event information if you are interested should the event be rescheduled for later this year or 2021. If you would like to make a donation to the Foundation in lieu of the lift-a-thon, we’d welcome your support as we continue to offer scholarships to area youth — check out our Scholar Update. Thank you and be well.

(Original info:) Join us on Saturday, May 9, 2020, at Funtional Integrated Training (FIT) for our ‘LIFT for OPPORTUNITY’! This lift-a-thon event has been organized and coordinated by friends and teammates of Will Kellerman who are looking for a new way to make a difference.

At the lift-a-thon, participants can choose to deadlift, squat, or bench as much weight as they can — one rep or a cumulative of multiple reps — to raise money from their sponsors. Choose one lift, two lifts or do all 3 — it’s up to you. The goal for each participant is to raise at least $100. Sponsors may pledge either a fixed donation or for every pound lifted. For example, a pledge could be a fixed amount, such as $50, or the donation could be based on the total amount lifted. If a pledge is made for 10¢ per pound and the participant lifts a total of 1,000 lbs, the total pledge at 10¢ per pound would be $100. All proceeds benefit the Opportunity 34 Foundation Scholarship Fund.
