Lift For Hope is an all-day Weightlifting event to raise $50,000 for our local emergency shelter for domestic and sexual violence survivors, Alexandra House.
This is a local, grassroots event designed to lift up and support our community.
There will be 5 sessions:
Session 1: Squat
Session 2: Sanctioned USAW Meet - Women*
Session 3: Sanctioned USAW Meet - Men*
Session 4: Deadlift
Session 5: Freestyle!
*USAW sessions will be limited to 15 athletes each
Just like a traditional weightlifting meet, the bar will start light and will increase in weight as the meet progresses. Each athlete will get 3 attempts to record the heaviest lift.
Registration
There is no cost to register. Instead, we ask all participants to put their registration toward a meaningful donation to Alexandra House and kickstart their fundraising.
Each session requires a separate registration. You’re welcome to register for more than one session. Lifters of all levels are welcome to participate. Participating in the USAW sessions requires experience and a USAW Membership.
*USAW sessions will be limited to 15 athletes each
FUNDRAISING
All participants will be responsible for setting a fundraising goal through our event fundraising page and gathering as much support as possible. The goal is up to each individual, but we suggest a $300 goal as a good place to start.
All gifts to Giffy Gives will benefit Alexandra House, an emergency shelter and support organization for domestic violence survivors located in Blaine, MN. Giffy Gives is a 501(c)(3) charity, and gifts can be tax-deductible.
