1/16 - 1/22: MLK, Jr. Day Tribute WOD and Community Giveback
On Monday, January 16, 2023, we'll be celebrating a Fog City Community Fitness tradition: a MLK, Jr. Day Tribute WOD \ Community Giveback and we’ll launch the FCCF Scholarship!
1) Community Giveback:
The best way we think we can give back to the broader community is $$$, so we have gathered member input on local groups that serve communities of color in SF that we can lift up and contribute to:
On MLK, Jr. Day, we’ve made classes FREE in hopes to see more of your friendly faces and to maximize our impact within the community: We ask that if you join us in doing the MLK, Jr. Day Tribute WOD at FCCF or at home, then you consider making a financial donation to the above organizations (any amount helps!). When donating, please list Fog City Community Fitness in the comments section, in addition to your name. Please check with your employer to see if they offer donation matching.
At FCCF, we believe Black Lives Matter and we are excited to continue this tradition! If you have other orgs you’d like us to consider, please let us know.
2) MLK, Jr. Day Tribute WOD:
This WOD is a tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. who was a social activist and Baptist minister who played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. King sought equality and human rights for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and all victims of injustice through peaceful protest.
Dr. King still inspires today including at FCCF where we strive to make a difference in the everyday lives of our community. “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
3) FCCF Scholarship Application now Open:
In order to increase access to FCCF for those who are not able to afford a full membership, we’re excited to share that we are launching a scholarship program. We’ll be accepting applications now through Feb 15th, so if you or anyone you know might be interested please apply here.
