Finding the Light Event

We can all make a difference. With one workout we can all be a guiding light.

This October both of our locations will be hosting the Finding the Light Workout in support of the Fighting Blindness Foundation and in honor of blindness awareness month during our regular Saturday class times!

The workout was programmed by Kym Dekeyrel, competitive CrossFit athlete and 2021 Fittest on Earth in the vision division.

Finding the Light Workout @ CrossFit Central Burnet Road
Saturday, October 19th @ 8am and 9am

Finding the Light Workout @ CrossFit Central Downtown

This is open to anyone and will be donation-based! Give what you can, everything helps!

Our Goal: Raise $500, CrossFit Central will then match for a total of $1,000 raised!
Be sure to add CrossFit Central in the note section so we can thank you!

All donations go to the Fighting Blindness Foundation. The foundation to drive the research that will provide preventions, treatments and cures for people affected by retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, Usher syndrome and the entire spectrum of retinal degenerative diseases. The Foundation is a beacon for those affected by these blinding diseases.
