Getting ready for the climb...and Sectionals!

It is not too late to help out a fellow CrossFitter and make a donation in honor of the event, or maybe someone you know how has had issues related to lung health. All are invited to drop spare change (we all have some in our car or bottom of our purses) in the tin labeled "Fight for Air" at the gym or visit our page to make a donation.

For those making the Climb and participating in the Fight for Air, here is part of an email I received:

The Fight For Air Climb is in the final fundraising lap and the finish line is in sight!  It’s time to dig down deep and push for the goal.   

 

EMAIL CHALLENGE!

We ask you  to infuse a sense of fundraising urgency in your team by  challenging each team member  to send out at least 25 additional  emails inviting others to donate to their climb effort.

 

PRIZES!

To encourage participation in this email campaign challenge, we are awarding the following Incentives:

·         All Climbers who fundraise $200.00 between March 17^th and midnight Tues. 23^rd  will be added to a drawing for a $100.00 Gift Certificate to Sports Basement.

Dear ______,
 

On Saturday, March 27, 2010, I will be participating in the American Lung Association's Fight For Air Climb, a vertical road race up San Francisco's 555 California (also known as the Bank of America building).  Most people make it to the party in the spectacular banquet room on the 52^nd floor in about 25 minutes, but last year's winner did it in 7 minutes, 48 seconds—if you can imagine!

 

You may think that it's crazy to climb 1,197 stairs, but I am doing this because of the challenge and because I am able to climb.  I can breathe freely, but there are many people who are not as lucky as I am. I am writing to you because I would like to invite you to support my 52 story climb. 

 

Proceeds from the Fight for Air Climb support the life saving work of the American Lung Association in the fight to help everyone breathe easier, especially people with lung diseases like asthma, emphysema and lung cancer. 

 

Please follow the link below to visit my personal web page and make a donation!  Thanks for supporting my climb!
