Some of The Strongman Club crew had an amazing time with Hayward High School sharing the joys of strongman to over 200 of their physical education, weightlifting students and athletes.

This was great timing as our next competition is Strongman Corporation America’s Strongest Teen (Teen Nationals) competition Saturday July 22nd where we’ll be hosting over 30 of the strongest teen from across the country in a strongman & strongwoman competition fully geared and focused on them.

We offer this competition at no charge to the teen athletes that qualify sponsored through our nonprofit The Driven Athlete Foundation Inc. We currently have 16 states from across the country represented with the athletes that are registered currently.

If you’d like more information on the event or would like to partner with us on this amazing event we’d love to have your support for all of these amazing young people that’s trained all year to get to this stage.

If you’d like more information on having The Strongman Club Impact Experience with your school, team or organization send me a DM. It’ll be an experience like no other as we challenge the physical to empower the mental as we all focus on Building Strength & Building Community with each other.

Always Be Kind!

”Proud mom moment! Matthew worked this evening and a homeless gentlemen walked in the restaurant with .50 cents and asked if there was anything on the menu he could buy. Matthew asked him what he would order if he could and the man said anything would help his hunger pains. So Matthew rung him up for a hearty meal and then used his own debit card to pay for the mans meal. He handed him the receipt and told him to relax and take a seat. The story could end there and It would be a happy ending, but apparently a women watched my son during his random act of kindness. Not only did she write the company to let them know about the caring employee they had working for them, she also rewarded my son with a very generous tip! ”So proud to be his mom and I can pat myself on the back knowing that I've played a part in raising this big hearted young man."
What a wonderful young man! Wish there were more like him.❤🙏🏻

A BIG reason why we do what we do.

Shout out to 480 club and my brotha Joseph Hooks.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the love and support of The Driven Athlete Foundation and The Strongman Club - Beast of the Bay Strength

Your donation in funds, time and support has helped us serve and grow tremendously and we have so much love and gratitude for you.

We are now in the final stretch of our End Of Year Fundraising effort and still need your help in a BIG way.

We have the lofty goal of raising $50,000 before the end of 2022 and so far from our collective effort, donations and events throughout October and November we’ve raised over $6,000. So we have only $43,000 more to go.

That may look like a lot but, nope… with community and strategy we eat this large goal one bite at a time together.

In this quick video I overview the strategy with the help of “Fundraising Champion Leaders” and outline the job these persons.

If you’re down for the cause and would like to be one of our 40 Fundraising Champions Leaders for The Driven Athlete Foundation in December or you know someone that would like to help please DM me and we’ll coordinate.

I’ll be reaching out to community members and my network over the next few days and strategizing. Lets help our friends and family get a solid tax deduction for supporting an incredible cause before the end of the year.

Hello December… LETS HAVE SOME FUN!!!

Hey Family! 👋

Do you have plans to support a non-profit for this year?

No?

What if there was a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that you could support that not only supported athletes growth, strength building and leadership development but also the empowerment of the family unit.

What if there was a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that taught that winning in life has more to do with honoring your journey and embracing your struggle than just what's on the scoreboard, scoresheet or a record at the end of a season.

What if there was a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that created a competition with the sole purpose of supporting the strongest teen athletes across the country with a championship to display their strength in a sport that most people have heard of but only a select group of people participate in currently but will be a household name and experience for athletes, families and communities in the next 10 years.

It's time you met The Driven Athlete Foundation 😉

OUR MISSION: To empower athletes & families to grow stronger together in all aspects of life and to help them make a significant impact in their community and the world around them.

OUR GOAL: $50,000+ before the end of 2022.

So far we've raised over $6,000 in our end of year giving campaigns since October.

We are just $43,770 away from our goal and YOU CAN HELP US!

Here's what the funds go towards:
🔹Covering all the registrations for Strongman Corporation America's Strongest Teen 2023 for all athletes invited. Covering registration and travel costs for eligible athletes/families for America’s Strongest Teen with Strongman Corporation

🔹Providing ongoing sponsorship to committed teen athletes to support performance, personal, and professional development.

🔹 Hiring committee staff to expand services and to support the community with new competition & training equipment.

🔹Partnering with local high schools and teen athletics programs to introduce teens to strongman and strength training
… and more

Giving is easy! Head to www.thedrivenathlete.org and also follow the live updates of how much we collectively raise throughout Giving Tuesday and beyond until we exceed our goal.

The Driven Athlete Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization so all donations are tax deductible for the donor to the max extent of the law.

Since we ended Thanksgiving Pledge-A-Thon for my boy birthday we’ve still received another $1250 in donations making this total raised for today $3860 so far.

We had such a powerful and fun learning experience with this live Pledge-A-Thon today. It was very much unplanned, unscripted and unedited… just raw passion and learning in the process. 6 hours of just going in and giving it our best this first time around, understanding that the process is going to bring all the lessons needed for growth as we apply the wisdom of today into future experiences.

Thank you so much to my brotha Steve Bacon for dedicating a good portion of your special day to raise funds with us and the incredible people in your community and tribe that have contributed today and showed all the love online.

Big thank you to everyone that donated today to the campaign in our march to $50,000+ in fundraising before the end of 2022.

Big shout out to all our amazing guests that came on and shared with us today. Thank you so much and .bacon you all totally rocked it today with us.

Congratulations to both Luke & Sammi for being selected as the very first recipients of Athlete Sponsorship. They are both young athletes that have consistently demonstrated their passion for their sport and amazing sportsmanship while taking care of responsibilities in the classroom and at home. They’ll both be receiving a $500 allowance with TDAF to support paying for their local competition expenses, training needs and/or academic needs in 2023 along with some nice swag.

We take care of these expenses for some of our local Bay Area youth athletes and definitely want to show the support to some of the amazing athletes from around the country that’s putting in the work and showing their dedication to growth.

You both deserve this and so much more as you have demonstrated what it means to be A Driven Athlete.

There is still time to give today and we have one more big event in our fundraising efforts and campaign on Giving Tuesday on November 29th at in Hayward, CA
