CrossFit Montgomery and friends lifted barbells for boobs in the annual “Amazing Grace” Fundraiser on Saturday, October 13 at The Boneyard, CrossFit Montgomery’s gym. You can continue to donate to the cause until the end of October. So far we’ve raised $1,805. Thank you to those who participating in our event and donated. View Photos.
Amazing Grace (A.K.A. Barbells For Boobs) is an annual fundraiser benefitting Mammograms in Actions (MIA), sponsored by the Reebok and supported by the CrossFit community. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to MIA, a non-profit organization located in Lake Forest, California. Every dollar CrossFit Montgomery raised will go to providing mammography, screening, and/or diagnostic procedures in the prevention of breast cancer for low-income and uninsured women in Alabama.
“Grace” the Workout and Rules
Participants will complete the CrossFit “Grace” workout. “Grace” is thirty clean and jerks, the Olympic lift, “for time” (AFAP or as fast as possible). The standard weight for men is 135 lb. The standard weight for women is 95 lb. Participants needing to scale the weight will choose from the following: 15, 35, 55, 75, 95, and 115 lb.
Game Day
The Boneyard will open at 8 a.m. Everyone will warm up on their own. We will start with a special workout for the kiddos at 9 a.m. Participants scaling the workout will complete the WOD first, following by those going as prescribed. You will be added to heats as you arrive. Unlike previous years, we will not have judging or prizes.
