Call to Action
.png)
Many in the CrossFit community were affected by the tragic shootings at Fort Hood, but none as directly as one of our affiliates, Lumberjack Crossfit . Four members of that affiliate were killed.CrossFit is launching a hero WOD fundraiser for our four fallen Soldiers. On December 5th, we are asking affiliates and individuals to do two things: participate in the workout (as a display of solidarity with Lumberjack CrossFit) and to reach out to family, friends, and strangers to donate whatever you can.
With the help of the CrossFit community, we can assist the men and women at Ft. Hood and Lumberjack CrossFit to raise money for the families of the fallen, and the future needs of the approximately 30 wounded.
The long-term needs of these families and the wounded are significant; many of the wounded are still in intensive care. Most will not fully recover from being shot multiple times at near point blank range with a .357.
Our community clearly has the ability and commitment to make a difference for these folks. Let’s turn out on the 5th and show our support by registering as a fundraiser now.

Free Saturday CrossFit class, rain and/or shine. 0900 hours, all ages and abilities welcome. Members only advanced class to follow at 1000 hours. Hope to see you there.Operation Iron Cross - Afghanistan
What is Operation Iron Cross? It is the CrossFit gymnastic certification being held for the troops overseas at Vance Camp, Bagram, Afghanistan Dec 3rd - Dec 11th. How cool is that? We'll be flying out of Pope Air Force Base on a C-17, with an estimated departure date of December 3rd. Three days later, we'll arrive at Bargram Air Base, and Vance Camp. We'll spend about a week in-country, running as many men and women of the 7SFG through the certification as humanly possible. And we've unofficially given this trip a bad-ass nickname, and t-shirt design: Operation Iron Cross.
We've currently lined up several sponsors who are generously donating their time and equipment, including Operation Phoenix, Again Faster, Tactical Athlete, RingTraining.com, Rage Fitness, and Misha's Coffee. Melissa Urban and Dallas Hertwig of CrossFit 603 and the "Whole30 Sponsor a Soldier" program we'll be rolling out, in conjuction with Steve's Club. But we still need help - and I'm confident with hope that those who read this and are active in the CrossFit community or those who wish to sponsor a soldier will answer the call.
In the process of organizing donations and supplies for Operation Iron Cross, We began to brainstorm things we could take over with us that would make a difference to the soldiers of the 7SFG. CrossFit equipment was a given, since we're hoping to get about 100 people through the certifications, but we wanted to get a little more creative and think outside the gymnastics box. We thought about how we could help the 7SFG Eat Good Food as well while protecting our country.
All of which led us to the conclusion, "We need to bring some Good Food over to these guys," and the creation of the Whole30 Sponsor a Soldier program.
Enter Steve's Club, a non-profit organization offering young athletes a chance in life. We'd like to bring 500 Paleokits to Afghanistan. Steve's Club is going to donate one Paleokit for every four purchased, but we need your help to make this happen.
We've set up a PayPal link for donations. You can donate as little as $5 to purchase one Paleokit for an active duty soldier. Send $20, and Steve's club will donate an extra kit on your behalf. If you're an affiliate or larger organization, you can sponsor an entire certification's sustenance at snack time. Go as big as you can -but every single dollar helps.
Now, let's chat for a minute.
Today, I'm asking for a favor. This is important to our soldiers, and to this CrossFit operation. This is espcially important to the men and women serving our country in one of the most dangerous and unstable areas in the world. So today, I'm asking.
Donate via this link: Sponsor A Soldier
Melissa Urban will be updating you daily on her blog (here)as to our efforts, and keeping track of each and every person, affiliate and group who contributes to the cause. And on behalf of me, the Whole30 program, Melissa, OUR GRACIOUS SPONSORS, and the soldiers...THANK YOU.

Your Third Place
Home.School or work.
Where are you in between?
Do you have that 'third place' where you can be you, among friends, with equals, and part of the tribe? Have you come in early, or stayed late after a WOD to watch, study, or encourage others? We hope so. We want to be your third place, that home-away-from-home where you are always welcome.
So grab a beer from the mini-fridge, if it won't throw your Zone off, and stick around for the journey. It matters.
