Pushups For Charity
From the Delaware State News
“Get Fit. Have Fun. Make a difference.”
Chris Gray, president of Punch Kettlebell Gym Dover, hopes area residents will do just that on Saturday, as he and 100 of his colleagues from across the country host the Push Ups for Charity Challenge, a fundraiser benefiting the Wounded Warriors Project.
The event will begin at 10am at the Punch Kettlebell Gym at 1058 South Governors Ave, Suite 101, in Dover.
“To borrow a phrase from the Geico commercials, pushups are ’so easy a caveman can do it,’” Gray says.
There are various ways area residents can get involved with the fundraiser, including doing pushups themselves, sponsor someone doing pushups by agreeing to donate 50 cents, 75 cents or $1 for pushups done in 90 seconds, or make a flat donation to the project itself.
“The average person might do…25 to 30 pushups…so the average donation certainly won’t break the bank, but every dollar really helps and goes directly to the Wounded Warrior Project”
The Wounded Warrior Project’s mission is “to honor and empower wounded warriors,” its purpose is also to raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women.

Pushups For Charity
This spring health clubs, personal training studios and fitness boot camps across the country have held Pushups for Charity events involving thousands of participants and generating tens of thousands of dollars in donations to support our wounded warriors. When the dust settles, they hope to collectively raise nearly $500,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project and kick-start a mini fitness revolution at the same time.
The local Pushups for Charity event in Coppell was held on April 10th at Coppell High School. “Our goal was two-fold,” explains Brad Linder, owner of Get You In Shape, the Coppell Boot Camp and Fitness Service Provider running the Pushups for Charity event here in Coppell, “we wanted to show our support for the wounded warriors who have sacrificed so much for our freedom and security, and we wanted to engage our local community in a fun way to get fit.”
To date, the Push Ups For Charity Coppell team has been able to raise over $10,742. The Team goal was $7,500 so everyone who sponsored and participated exceeded the goal for the team.
We thank all those who participated and all those who sponsored someone participating. We could not have done it without great people like you who have helped make this event a success.

Pushups For Charity
On March 20th, Brookfield’s own Cutting Edge Personal Training hosted Push Ups For Charity event to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.
Pushups For Charity, a nationwide movement, launched on Saturday, March 20th at Brookfield’s No Limit Health & Fitness. This event brought local businesses and residents together under one roof for one main reason…to raise money for the American soldier who has been severely injured in battle. With over 200 pushup sponsors and 20 pushup participants, could Pushups For Charity meet our aggressive goal?
I am just 1 of 100 small fitness businesses around the country taking part in this great movement. Collectively we are out to raise a half a million dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project. That puts the individual goal at $5,000 each. Right now, as I am counting it up, we have collected over $8100.00…..and there is still more coming in!!! When it is all said and done, I am confident that Pushups for Charity Brookfield will have raised over $8500. Heck, I still have people contacting me just to make a flat donation for this great cause.
For every pushup that was completed at the event, sponsors donated .50 cents to $1 towards the Wounded Warrior Project. Not only were Brookfield residents involved, but residents from many of the neighboring towns made an appearance to take part.
There is no better feeling than being able to give back to those men and women who fight everyday for the very freedoms we enjoy. The energy in the room during the pushup challenge was through the roof with everyone coming together to cheer on the pushup participants. I am so blessed to be a part of such a great movement and a big thank you goes out to each and every participant.

Push Ups For Charity Event In Williamsport A Success, Raising $2,892 for Wounded Warrior Project
On Saturday, March 20, 2010 in tiny Williamsport, Maryland at 4-Star Athletic Complex, seven brave souls gathered to honor the wounded warriors of our armed forces who protect the freedom that so many take for granted. The brave souls that gathered did so to participate in the Push-ups for Charity Challenge, which was held to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project. The Wounded Warrior Project provides programs and services to severely injured service members during the time between active duty and transition to civilian life.
This event was organized by Ron Hebb, a local injury reduction and performance enhancement professional, as a means to show support for the wounded warriors who have sacrificed so much for our freedom and security and as a way to engage the local community in a fun way to get fit. Having worked as the Exercise and Training Program Manager for Headquarters Battalion, Headquarters Marine Corps, Henderson Hall for nearly 12 years, this event was a perfect fit for Hebb. During his time as a civil servant with the Marine Corps, he saw many severely wounded warriors return from deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Push-ups for Charity Challenge was his way of raising funds for these wounded warriors.
Once the few remaining donations arrive, Push-ups for Charity Williamsport will have raised more than $2,892 for the Wounded Warrior Project. Every penny of this amount will go directly to the Wounded Warrior Project to support the programs and services that they provide for our wounded warriors.
Stay tuned for future Push-ups for Charity Challenges! After doing the first challenge, Hebb is convinced that he can raise more money for the Wounded Warrior Project and that he can kick-start a mini fitness revolution … one push-up at a time.
