Crossfit 08844's 1st Annual Barbells for Boobs

Hillsborough residents are
invited to join Crossfit08844 as they host their first fundraising event,
Barbells for Boobs on September 21, 2013. 
Barbell
for Boobs©  is a 501(c)3 nonprofit breast
cancer organization whose mission is to provide funding through the Mammograms
in Action Grant Program for qualified low-income and uninsured women and men
who need screening and/or diagnostic procedures in the prevention of breast
cancer. Crossfit08844’s event will consist of a workout for experienced
Crossfit athletes, a 5K Fun Run, and a vendor fair. All proceeds will be donated
to Barbells for Boobs.



Head
Coach and Founder, Dong King opened up Crossfit08844 in October of 2012. Crossfit
is defined as “constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement”. It
involves weight-lifting, running, and body workouts. Workouts are done at gyms
known as “the box”. The aim of Crossfit is to forge a broad, general, and
inclusive fitness. Not only is forging elite fitness important, but so is
creating a sense of community and family. “One of my aunts was a survivor and
ever since I saw this event, I always thought about doing my own event once I
owned my own box”, says Kim. The workout for
Crossfit athletes will be “Amazing Grace”. Participants are required to make at
least a $20 donation to Crossfit08844’s Fundraising page.



Crossfit08844 is
located at Jill Court Building 22 Unit 7, Hillsborough, NJ 08844. The event
will take place in multiple heats at 8:30 am, 9:30 am, 10:30 am, 11:30 am and
12:30 pm. Registration is a donation of at least $20. Vendors who wish to
participate can register free by emailing slkamg32us@gmail.com.  Participants can register at the event on
Facebook by searching “Barbells for Boobs @ Crossfit08844” or send an email to slkamg32us@gmail.com with their names and
time of workout. Donations can be made online at http://fundraise.barbellsforboobs.org/ and searching “
