Help lighten the "weight" for kids waiting for a Big Brother or Big Sister!
The 10th Annual Lift for Kids will take place in October 6, 2007 at Grand Traverse Mall. Registration and warm up will begin at 11:00 a.m., and the competition will be held from 12:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Weightlifters compete to see who can lift the greatest percentage of their body weight or who can do the most push ups all while raising pledges for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan. Awards go to top finishers in each age division for men and women and for the most money raised. A special award is also presented to the gym with the most participants and most funds raised.
Lift for Kids was created by Jeff & Vern Gauthier of Fit For You Gym ten years ago. The brothers and members of Fit For You gym have led the charitable competition each year with the greatest number of lifters supporting the event. Fit For You & BBBS invites other area gyms and lifters to join this friendly competition to support the children in our community.
If you want to participate in Lift For Kids or make a pledge, call 1-231-946-2447, extension 205. We hope you will join us in this amazing display of strength and heart.
