Local CrossFit Events and Fundraisers!

We’ve been getting LOTS of emails from local CrossFit gyms that are running events and/or fundraisers over the next few months. Read up on the details below, and let us know if you are interested in attending any of them!  These local events are always a good time, and you don’t have to be a competitive CrossFitter to participate – they’re more about celebrating community and raising money for good charities!

• April 14 – Dog Day Afternoon @ CrossFit Delaware Valley.  This fundraiser will benefit the Delaware County SPCA. Join CFDV for a fun afternoon of competitive WODs with area CrossFitters, followed by beer and wings. Instead of an entry fee, athletes are asked to bring items off the SPCA Wish List.

• April 15 – South Philly Rumble @ Fearless Athletics.  This is the 2nd annual South Philly Rumble. ICA has already registered a team and we’ll use the Open results to help us pick the 3 men and 3 women who will represent ICA. For more details click here.
• April 21 – Ninja Warrior Project @ CrossFit West Chester.  This event will raise money for one of the CF West Chester members who was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma – a cancer of the body’s lymph nodes. 100% of proceeds will go towards Brian’s medical treatments. For more info, or to register, click here.
• June 9 – Fight Gone Bad @ TBD.  Every year CrossFitters around the world perform the workout Fight Gone Bad as a HUGE fundraiser. This year all proceeds will benefit St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.  We’re still deciding whether we’ll run the event at ICA, or if we’ll join up with another local affiliate for their event. Stayed tuned.
• August 4, 2012 – 31 Heroes WOD @ Iron Cross Athletics.  This annual event is held in honor of the 31 Navy SEALs who were killed in action on August 6, 2011. The funds raised will benefit the families directly affected by the tragedy, as well as organizations that support families of fallen military heroes. For more info, visit the website here. More details will be available in late Spring.
