Coaches and students of CrossFit A.P.E.: Check out the site above and learn how to get involved and help the families of the victims of the Ft. Hood shootings with your sweat and your wallet. We are hosting a free tribute WOD event 12/5 at 9am and COC is matching every dollar that is contributed between now and then in effort to raise at least $1,000. Contribute and help those in need this holiday season!

Many in the CrossFit community were affected by the tragic shootings at Fort Hood, but none as directly as one of our affiliates, Lumberjack Crossfit . Four members of that affiliate were killed.

CrossFit is launching a hero WOD fundraiser for our four fallen Soldiers. On December 5th, we are asking affiliates and individuals to do two things: participate in the workout (as a display of solidarity with Lumberjack CrossFit) and to reach out to family, friends, and strangers to donate whatever you can.

With the help of the CrossFit community, we can assist the men and women at Ft. Hood and Lumberjack CrossFit to raise money for the families of the fallen, and the future needs of the approximately 30 wounded.

The long-term needs of these families and the wounded are significant; many of the wounded are still in intensive care. Most will not fully recover from being shot multiple times at near point blank range with a 5.7X28mm (.22 cal.)

Our community clearly has the ability and commitment to make a difference for these folks. Let’s turn out on the 5th and show our support by registering as a fundraiser now.

Central Oregon CrossFit will match every dollar that is donated on behalf of COC in effort to raise $1,000 (or more) for this great cause over the next 3 weeks. We will be doing the tribute WOD Saturday, December 5th at 9am.

The WOD:
"Lumberjack 20"
20 Deadlifts (275lb/155lb)
Run 400m
20 KB swings (32kg/24kg)
Run 400m
20 Overhead Squats (115lb/75 Lb)
Run 400m
20 Burpees

20 Pullups (Chest to Bar)
Run 400m
20 Box jumps (24")
Run 400m
20 Squat Cleans (135 Lb/95 Lb)

Road trip! Let me know who wants to go. I'm not sure how the donations are given, I'll find out and let everyone know.
