Owners Owen Schmitt, Jeff Giosi, and Ashley Anderson would like to invite West Virginia residents to their Barbells for Boobs Benefit on Saturday, October 25th from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. 

 

Have you seen Cross Fit on ESPN? This is your chance to experience a live Cross Fit competition of local participants in a fun, encouraging, and welcoming environment. This family friendly contest and all of the surrounding activities; including prizes and giveaways, local vendors, special guest speakers, activities for children, and more, will all be in support of early detection of breast cancer.

 

This cause is very personal for many in the West Virginia community and several of CrossFit Morgantown’s members, including co-owner Jeff Giosi.  “My mom is alive today because of regular breast exams, monitoring, and early detection. At 34 years old, I'm thankful my mom is still with me and I’m so proud to call her my Hero!” Giosi’s mother is a five year breast cancer survivor and will be sharing her story as well as participating in the competition on Saturday. “We just hope everyone will come out for a really good time and to help us donate as much money as possible for such a great cause.” added CrossFit Morgantown co-owner and former NFL football player Owen Schmitt.

 

This event is free and open to the public, with a suggested donation of $10 at the door. 100% of the proceeds from this benefit will be donated to Barbells for Boobs, a non-profit organization dedicated to the early detection of breast cancer, with an emphasis on women and men under the age of 40.

 

The doors open at 9 a.m. with the first heat of the competition kicking off at 10 a.m. at CrossFit Morgantown located at 1065 Greenbag Road, Suite A. For more information on the event or to donate, the public can visit CrossFitMorgantown.com, call 304.685.5920, or view the CrossFit Morgantown page on Facebook.
