2 FITNESS FUNDRAISING EVENTS THIS WEEKEND WE CAN PARTICIPATE IN!
*SATURDAY SEP. 23 LIFT UP AUTISM IN KONA @POHAKU CROSSFIT *SUNDAY SEP. 24 BIENI KOHLER JOHNSON FUN RUN @HPA
DESCRIPTION
WHAT IS LIFT UP AUTISM?
Back in October 2013 Josh Everett, TrainHeroic, and more than 350 boxes in the fitness community rallied together in spectacular fashion to support the Autism community in a worldwide workout event called Lift Up Luke.
This competition for a cause sought to support early diagnosis and treatment of Autism, raise funds for the Autism Tree Project Foundation in San Diego, and most importantly, turn a global spotlight on the measured and severe impact of Autism on families and individuals around the world.
In 2016, the community crushed 2013's results with more than:
-
39 countries represented
-
650 boxes hosting the event
-
7,500 athletes performing the workout
-
$75,000 donated to our foundations
-
and 17.5 million social media impressions raising awareness and driving action
This year, we're looking to raise the bar and take it to a whole other level.
Our 2017 goal: Connect 1,000 gyms and 10,000 athletes around the globe to mobilize around this cause.
And you can help.

THE WORKOUT
"LUKE"

- 4 Power Cleans: 155 lbs. Men/105 lbs. Women
- 24 Double Unders
- 10 Pull-Ups
The "Luke" workout is challenging but accessible. We have scaling options to accommodate athletes of all abilities and experience levels. If you're new to CrossFit or have never done these movements, there are many other ways to participate and get involved.
IT'S A COMMUNITY FITNESS EVENT RIGHT IN OUR BACKYARD....at HPA!
If we train to be ready for anything...we certainly can support a 5K or fun run/dog walk to support Breast Cancer and this worthy cause.
I'd like to get our CrossFit AllStar group together to participate in the Bieni Kohler-Johnson '83 5K Fun Run and Dog Walk on Sunday, September 24, run starts at 9am

About This Activity
The Bieni Kohler-Johnson '83 Memorial Fund is intended to help a deserving female HPA student follow her dreams. It is awarded to someone not only gifted in athletics, academics, or the arts, but who understands her responsibility to work hard to develop and share those gifts. In the spirit of namesake, the scholarship is awarded to a young woman who is an inspiration to others, who demonstrates a shining sincerity of commitment and unhesitant willingness to go the "extra mile" for friends, family, or a worthy cause. This year four outstanding young women received a scholarship from this Fund.
Thank you for supporting The Bieni Kohler-Johnson '83 Memorial Fund, and continuing her legacy by honoring deserving female students at HPA with this scholarship.
