Our giving spirit at the box never ceases to amaze me! The holiday season is a great time to show how our Graham CrossFit community comes together to support those in need.
Did you know that some of our nearby schools have almost 80% of their students living in poverty? Many of these families are working and trying hard to support their kids but barely make it month to month with nothing left for extras. Christmas can become a very stressful, difficult time for parents who can't afford gifts for their children. Kids from these families not only go without, but they recognize and feel the tension at home during the season.
Let's come together and make the holiday a little merrier for some of these children! We will have a giving tree at the box for anyone who would like to help. Here's how it works:
1. Look through the tags (there are some with basic needs, like socks and some tags with children's hopeful requests).
2. Pick the tag(s) that you would like to purchase.
3. Have a coach document the name and number on the tag so we can keep track of which gifts go to which children. Please make sure if you take a tag you don't forget this step! :)
4. Purchase the item, wrap it and bring it back to the box with the original tag by December 11.
5. Please let a coach know when you bring the gift back so that we can mark off the item(s) that has been returned.
It's that simple! Your generous spirit will mean the world to these kiddos and to the families that love them. Thank you once again for showing how our Graham CrossFit family cares and gives back!
