This Week at CFSBK in Review
1. We continued our Iron Maidens of CFSBK series with Derrian R. and Lady Fox. This year, through competitors’ fundraising efforts, Iron Maidens will once again fund the Iron Maidens Stay Strong Scholarship. Last year, Iron Maidens participants raised $30,000, far surpassing the $20,000 goal. This year, our goal is to raise $50,000 to pay for 70% of college tuition for students in the College Prep program at the Bronx-based Grace Outreach. Right now we're at $18,806, and with the meet just over one week away, we need your help to make our goal a reality! You can donate to a lifter's campaign by going here.
2. The first workout of the 2017 CrossFit Open will be announced in just under two weeks. We want you to sign up! We're shooting to have 100 CFSBKers register for this year's Open. On Tuesday, your blog editor gave you some more reasons to sign up.
3. Also on Tuesday, we introduced you to the newest member of our coaching staff, Coach Lauren! You may already know her from around the gym, and now you get to take Sunday classes with her. Double the Snickers, Double the Fun! (Wait, no, wrong candy.)
4. Shaye L. has organized a postcard-writing party scheduled for tomorrow from 6:00pm to 8:30pm. Use your voice to tell our elected officials what matters to you! See the event page for more details.
5. Coach David is looking for volunteers to judge videos for the CrossFit Games regional competitions. Details are in yesterday's post. If you're interested in helping out, please e-mail David [at] CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com as soon as possible!
