Burpee Challenge to Support Collaborative for Children

Burpees for a Cause!

CrossFit Central Houston has recently partnered with Collaborative for Children: a great organization that jumped in to help essential workers find child care during the COVID-19 crisis. We now have the opportunity to support them in continuing this mission by pledging to complete burpees to raise awareness and funds for the work that they’re doing!

How it works:

1) Decide how many burpees you’re going to pledge to complete between May 1st - 30th. Make it something challenging for your current fitness level and time commitment ability! You might want to consider how many burpees you think you could commit to each DAY in order to arrive at your goal.

Examples:
RX: 2500 burpees
SCALED: 1500 burpees

2) Create a fundraising page by texting “burpee” to 71777

3) By setting up your own fundraising page, you can invite your friends and family to support you by donating and spreading the word…even participating in the challenge themselves! A generous donor has offered to match 1:1 all funds raised, up to $2500! You might share your fundraising page through email/social media and say something like:

Dear Friends and Family,

During the month of May, I will be completing (amount) burpees for the Burpee Challenge benefitting Collaborative for Children: an organization that has stepped up to help Houston-area essential workers find childcare during this COVID-19 crisis.
