Last Saturday we partnered with a local gym to host an awareness workout event to their gym community and hoped that other local gyms would also come. We planned a great workout which highlighted the realities of child s*xual exploitation, and worked with the gym to meet the crowd where they are, while creating a fun and open atmosphere to grow and learn together.
We are still not over how amazing of a time it was. Between 70-80 people came. It was not about donations, but close to $1000 was raised. Questions were asked. And people were empowered to fight against trafficking right where they are. To shine their light just as they stand. It was a true testament to our hosts, and the Cleveland CrossFit community at large. Those are people who show up.
Thank you, everyone who came and did that workout, or came and cheered for others. The electricity from that day echoes.
