Crossfit Fort Hood Fundraiser

You've probably overheard many of your fellow dance students talk about Crossfit. Liz, Summer, Adrian, Rob, Roselady, Deandre, Tenoch, JR, Katrina and many others have taken the challenge of pushing their body to its limits in this hard core workout.

Each Saturday at 2 pm, Crossfit Works holds a free workout. However, this Saturday there will be a special focus for the workout...so please consider joining us.

This Saturday, December 5th, Crossfit Works will partake in the Fort Hood Memorial Fundraiser.
On Nov. 5 at 1:34 p.m., a terrorist named Nidal Hasan attacked soldiers and civilians at Fort Hood, Texas. When the shooting ended, he had murdered 12 soldiers and one civilian and wounded 43 others. Four of the slain soldiers and 11 of the wounded were active CrossFitters in the 20th Engineer Battalion, home to Lumberjack CrossFit. To honor these soldiers, CrossFit HQ is creating a Hero WOD, and on Dec. 5, one month after the Terrorist Attack, fellow Fort Hood affiliate Centurion CrossFit Fort Hood will host the Fort Hood Massacre Memorial WOD in an effort to raise money for those affected by this tragedy. The Lumberjacks will deploy to Afghanistan in January to continue operations on the War on Terror. We would like for their parting memory to be one of hope and inspiration and not of the horrific carnage that has so tragically befallen them. Please join us on Dec. 5 by participating in the FHM Memorial WOD at your local affiliates and by raising money to help the victims of this Terrorist attack.

Crossfit Works will collect donations for the families of the Lumberjack CrossFitters killed at Fort Hood. You can bring 50cents, $5.00 or $500. In addition, $5.00 from the sale of each t-shirt during the month of December will also go to the Fund.

Where: Crossfit Works, 204 S. Tucson Blvd
When: Sat, Dec 5th, 2 pm
