The Community of Strength Project is a non-profit that we run out of CrossFit Federal Hill. We open up our doors to local students and kids who want to get stronger and faster. Every year we hold a burpee challenge for them! Every dollar donated = 1 Burpee. CrossFit Federal Hill will match every dollar donated. If we get over $500 the kids will divide the burpees with a partner. Last year we raised over $800. Once we have this money I take the kids shopping. They buy toys and we donate them to Toys for Tots.
This event does a few things. The kids get excited/nervous to see how many burpees they are going to do. It builds strength and character when they hit over 300 Burpees in a day. The second piece which is just as important is going out buying the toys and giving them back to kids who need them more. The pride, and thankfulness these kids have during this event is like no other. If you are interested in donating money to the cause, bring cash or a check into the gym and leave it on the front desk or office in the back gym. Please make all checks payable to the Community of Strength Project. We are an official 501-C3 so all donations are tax deductible!
So far COSP has helped three students out with College. Our goal is to let them experience the power of CrossFit and guide them to their next step after high school. We are not paying their full tuition, but application, fees, books and deposits are all taken care of for them. All the students we helped were the first in their family to go to college.
