Beat The Streets Fundraiser

This post is to go a little more in depth about what Joyce posted on the Facebook page about the Beat The Streets fundraiser next month.

If you didn't see it, Beat The Streets is a fundraiser WOD taking place at CrossFit Renaissance on Saturday, October 5th at 10 a.m. The WOD is:

2 Person Teams, AMRAP 15 Min:

• 10 reps Shoulder to Overhead (115lbs/75lbs)
• 25 reps Deadlifts (115lbs/75lbs)
• 50 reps Box Jumps (24"/20")

Here's a post from Steve Liberati, the founder of CrossFit Tribe in Pennsauken, NJ and the founder of Steve's Club and Steve's PaleoGoods, wrote on his blog a few days ago about Beat The Streets, and a video from last year's event at Tribe with highlights from some of the kids he's helped over the past few years. Really good stuff in the video... The kids in the video belong to Steve's Club and are all from Camden and the surrounding area who do CrossFit at Tribe. This club is growing rapidly across the country and is helping so many kids who most likely would end up dealing drugs or getting involved in violence if they weren't a part of it. Another neat thing about Beat The Streets is that it's taking place all across the country at different CrossFit affiliates on the same day. (Lauren Gallagher -- maybe you can talk your sister into doing this at her box in Arizona?? Just a thought!)

The suggested donation is $25 and the proceeds go directly to Steve's Club. Bring a friend or two as long as you have a two-person team! Completing a hard ass WOD followed by a Renaissance BBQ which is always a great time, what could you possibly be doing on a Saturday that's more fun?

Let Bill and Joyce know you are going through the Facebook invite...the sooner the better.

PS -- Read my post here from a few months ago if you want to learn more about Steve's PaleoGoods. If you are on Paleo or not, these products are worth checking out. They are delicious!
