Bigger than us.
Wednesday, September 14, 2011
Woah. I guess I've fallen off the blogging wagon lately! It's been about a month and a half since we finished up the CrossFit games...I thought things would slow down and I'd have more time for this kind of stuff once the games were over. HA! Wrong. Busy is good...I'll take it!
Bigger than us:
I'm going to be honest. I haven't put near as much effort in to Fight Gone Bad 6 this year as I would have liked. I haven't been the PR guy I've wanted to for the event, I haven't raised as much money as I would have liked to, and I haven't sunk as much time into the planning of the event I had anticipated. But, that doesn't mean I'm not excited about it! When I get to sit down and think about what FGB is, why we do it, and how much it can mean to others, I get pretty pumped up!
This years FGB primarily benefits 3 foundations: the ISR program via CrossFit Kids, Camp Patriot, and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Camp Patriot and the SOWF are foundations that help veterans and their families in times of need. The ISR is recognized as the safest provider of survival swimming lessons for infants and toddlers.
All of those are bigger than us. Here we are, able to decide IF we want to complete FGB, IF we feel like donating money, and IF we want to help others. We have that choice guys. Families of deceased soldiers, injured battle veterans, or accidental drowning victims don't get this choice. They are left with the hand they are dealt. Period. So let's help. Grab your piggy bank, clean the floorboards of your car, turn your couch upside down, write a check, or skip that morning Starbucks for a week and throw a few dollars at Fight Gone Bad 6. If you, your friend, and their friend, and their friend.....you get the idea...can pitch just a couple bucks we can help some people and families in a major way!
Bayou City CrossFit will host Fight Gone Bad 6 this weekend at our new digs at 3622 Golf Drive. Registration starts at 8:00 a.m. and the first heat will start promptly at 9:00. Come out and support those who need it. We will have donation buckets on site.
See you on Saturday!
