Friends – I am writing to ask for your support in a fundraising event that my gym and I are participating in – “FGB III.” On Saturday, September 27th, CrossFit gyms and athletes all over the country will be doing a workout named “Fight Gone Bad” to raise funds for both the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Wounded Warrior Project. This year’s event will be the 3rd annual and the first for CrossFit Rochester. Fear not – I’m not asking that you do the workout (unless you’d like to give it a try – I can scale it down for you if needed) – I’ll be happy to do the workout for you. Rather, I am asking for your support in raising funds for the charities noted above. To make it real easy, I have a webpage set up you can visit to make your donation (simply enter the amount you wish to donate, click continue and enter your billing info). I’ve set a very modest goal here – if everyone were to help even a little bit, we would surpass it quite easily. Though you do not have to work out, you’re more than welcome to stop by and cheer for our team - even help score if you’d like! Locally, our event is going to run from 7-10am at CrossFit Rochester, 409 Mason Rd in Fairport. f you would like to participate in the workout, visit the blog post from 9/10/08 for registration instructions. Let me know you’re coming and (if you don’t already work out here) arrive early enough to catch up with one of our trainers to make sure you’re moving safely and the workout is scaled appropriately. Thank you for your time and support. Joe Celso CrossFit Rochester

Hey people, I also spent some time emailing everyone in my address book and everyone on Facebook. Even if people give just a little, it all adds up. It has been only one day and I already have $280 in donations from 5 people. It would be great to have a ton of people come out for this. Even if you are not a fan of FGB, it is a great cause.
Not a fan of FGB????? How can you *not* be a fan of FGB?
I agree, it would be great to see lots of people come out to support this! Hopefully lots of CF Rochester folks will be there, and if everyone brings at least one friend... just like the donations, it adds up quickly!

BTW - Way to go Randy! Taking the early lead on the donations for Team Rochester!!!
Hey Crossfitters- Incentive for you. Anyone who raises $300 or more for FGB III, I'll give you a Crest Oral B Triumph Electric Toothbrush. These go for about $120-$140 in the stores. Get your friends and family to help us out!!!
I have one of these. Ya know, the whole teeth cleaning process now seems to take a wee bit longer (maybe 30 seconds really), but my teeth are SO much cleaner - I love that thing. You better get some sponsors!
Well, Randy. Looks like I get one of those toothbrushes. I'm going to give it to Toad so his breath will smell better in the morning when we're all working out together. Now we just need to find something to cure that smell that comes out the other end.
I talked Toad into signing up. Deal is though, that we can take Thurs or Friday off so if you don't see us, that's where we are!!! He's working toward one of those toothbrushes, Randy.
