June is Pride Month, and Aevitas is here to support! Get involved and show your PRIDE spirit this coming week while benefitting a great local LGBTQ+ cause!
PRIDE Center of the Capital Region
This year Aevitas is supporting the PRIDE Center of the Capital Region, the oldest continuously operating LGBTQ center in the country! The Pride Center’s stated mission is to “promote the wellbeing of all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer-identified people and those affected by discrimination based on gender identity and expression”.
The Center holds weekly events throughout the year, provides free counseling and case management services, and hosts education and professional development training for those seeking to improve their services for LGBTQ individuals and the community.
Pride Center also put together celebrations and events throughout June. Check out this year’s Capital Pride Parade and Festival on Sunday, June 9th!
Show Your Aevitas Pride This Friday!
In support of Pride Month and the Pride Center, we have chosen to donate to the center this year! And we need your help!
All you need to do is “wear the rainbow” to the workout this Friday! We will donate to the cause for every person who participates!
What does “wear the rainbow” mean? To count, you must have two or more different (preferably bright) colors clearly shown in your outfit. Black, white, and gray do NOT count! So wear a red shirt and blue shorts, or pink socks and a green sports bra. Mix it up and have some fun with it!
Optional: Add A Donation!
There is no donation required to participate, but if you would like to add to our total sum, you may do so using the donation page HERE. Any donations made by Sunday, June 9th will be added to the total amount we send over!
PRIDE Memorial WOD
Whether you choose to participate by wearing bright colors or donating on your own (or both!), on Friday we will complete the memorial WOD “Pulse”. This workout is a memorial to the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting victims. You can read more about the workout and its background and meaning right HERE.
As with all memorial WODs, we ask that when your suffering during the workout is at its peak, you take a moment to reflect on the meaning of the workout, and the privilege of enjoying the things we love, with the people we love, inside the gym and out.
Another Way to Support – Aevitas Pride Apparel!
Dressing the part not your jam, or struggling to find bright colors? We got you covered! You can also contribute to the cause by purchasing a limited edition Aevitas Pride t-shirt or tank top! Check out the design and order yours using the link below by Friday, June 14th!
