31 Heroes will be taking place on Saturday, August 5th at New Realm Brewing Co! Grab a partner and sign up for a heat… this is a great workout for a great cause!
On August 6, 2011, a tragedy shook the military community and Americans everywhere. In a single instance, America lost 30 military service members, many of whom were members of the Navy SEAL community—and one military K9– when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter, call sign Extortion 17, was downed in Afghanistan.
The mission of 31Heroes is to raise money and awareness through social and athletic events to support the families of Extortion 17 and honor their legacy by funding the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
A team for Compound CrossFit has been started and you can join it by clicking HERE! This will also allow you to donate and sign up for heats as well.
Shirts for the event are mailed on three (3) separate dates as outlined below and depend on when you sign-up. If your $31 is received after one of the outlined dates, your shirt will be shipped on the next date:
- Sunday, July 16 (sign-up with at least $31 by July 16 to receive before the WOD)
- Monday, August 7
- Thursday, August 31
