We're fundraising for ReachOut Australia: the leading online mental health service supporting young people during tough times.
Our goal is to host a weightlifting event that raises awareness and gives back to an organisation that does so much for young individuals - and their parents - are who battling poor mental health.
Many members within our CrossFit Raven community are either personally affected by mental health challenges or know someone elose to them whose life has been heavily impacted. This cause is deeply personal to us. Through this event, we aim to raised funds, awareness, support and connection, while also coming together as a community and having some fun along the way.
The event will feature 36 or more sponsored lifters. Each lifter will be sponsored with donations based on their total lifted weight ($1 = 1KG lifted). In addition, anyone can donated toward the cause, whether or not they are sponsoring an athlete.
Our mission at CrossFit Raven is to support an organisation that supports so many others during their time of need - and to stand otgether as a community to make a meaningful difference.
