Tribute WOD!(Thank you DCF for the photo)
In remembrance of the Fallen Four Heros we will host a Tribute WOD with
CrossFit Vallejo . The WOD will take place Saturday, April 11, 2009 at CFS. Times will be 8a, 9a, and 10a. We are asking athletes to donate $10 to participate, additional amounts accepted. WOD will be appropriate for all skill levels- don't be shy or intimidated.
Idea: Start asking family members and friends if they want to donate as well. Your family and friends might not be interested in working out and we respect that, however they are more then welcome to come hang out, visit or just drop off a donation- or send it with you.
If you cannot make the Tribute WOD- there is a jar in the back, please drop your donations there until Saturday, April 11, 2009. CrossFit Vallejo and CFS are very excited to raise money for these families and look forward to sending one large (we hope) check.
Donations can also be submited as follows:
If you want to donate directly to the trust funds that have been established:
Three trust funds have been set up to help the families of three of the slain officers. Checks can be made out to Dunakin Children's Family Trust, Romans Children's Family Trust and Sakai Family Trust. The checks can be mailed to the Oakland Police Officers Association, Attn: Renee Hassna, 555 Fifth St,, Oakland CA 94607.
Wire transfers can be made directly to Merrill Lynch accounts for the three families: Dunakin Children's Family Trust, a/c #204-04065; Romans Children's Family Trust, a/c #204-04066; Sakai Family Trust, a/c #204-04064.
Please feel welcome to come early and hang out; cheer on others as they complete the WOD, have a snack, enjoy a refreshment or just come for the cause.

Who should checks be made out to, if friends and family want to donate? CFS?

checks should be made out to which ever family they want to donate too (information in post). cash is preferred as it can be put all on one check.
will look into a general account so it can be evenly divided.

I can't donate money right now but, I plan to do as many burpees as I can with one-arm. I'll film it and post it to CF board.
Much love from Central Southern States (Mississippi).
