Barbells for Boobs is the creation of Zionna Munoz, a CrossFitter from Southern California who, like many of us, had a close friend undergo treatment for breast cancer. Her creative response to this situation was to initiate a fundraiser tied to the CrossFit workout "Grace" that would benefit Mammograms in Action, a nonprofit organization that funds mammograms for women who cannot afford them. You can watch a video of her explaining this journey on the CrossFit Journal by clicking here, or you can read same story by clicking here.
CrossFit Summit is proud to contribute to this effort on Saturday, October 30 at 10AM at Summit Health and Fitness. Members of our CF group have volunteered to raise pledges and perform Amazing Grace in order to raise funds for BFB/MIA. Community members are encouraged to participate by pledging, either directly with a friend/family member/acquaintance/coworker who is one of our CF athletes - or the community is also encouraged to attend the workout by arriving between 930 and 945 to select an athlete to sponsor with a pledge and stay for the workout. Athlete profiles (including their secret superhero name) will be available with pledge sheets for sponsors to read and support with a check or cash donation. Checks should be made to "Mammograms in Action." If you cannot attend the event, direct contributions can be made online at Barbells for Boobs - click here to go the the main page.
Participants times and funds raised will be posted on this website. Stay tuned.
