Happy Valentine’s week, everyone! This year to make Valentine’s Day just a tad bit sweeter, we will be donating to a great cause. And we need your help!
The cause we have chosen to give a little love boost this year is Locks Of Love. Locks of Love is an organization that helps children in need by providing custom-made hair prosthetics. Recipients of Locks of Love pieces are disadvantaged children suffering hair loss due to a medical condition such as cancer or burn trauma. We have supported this charity for several years. In fact, when Coach Karen chops 8+ inches off of her hair, she asks that her hair be donated to Locks of Love. If you’re considering doing the same but need a hand to hold – reach out to Karen! She’d love to sit with you!
So, how can you help us donate to Locks of Love this Valentine’s Day? Don’t worry, we won’t make you cut all of your hair off! Instead, we ask that you show your support by wearing pink to the gym this Wednesday, February 14th. Yes – that’s it! We will donate for every person who participates. So the more people wearing pink on Wednesday, the larger the donation to Locks of Love!
Head-to-toe pink is not a requirement (though we love a good Barbie moment!). A pink shirt or shorts, pink socks, or even pink shoelaces will work! However, we need to be able to see the pink… Don’t tell us you’re wearing pink underwear – it needs to show – and no, we do not want to verify that!
Of course, anyone who wishes to also donate to the cause with our effort can do so through Venmo, and we’ll add your donation to the total sum!
Go find your favorite pink outfit, and we’ll see you at the gym this Wednesday as we celebrate our love for health, fitness, and great causes!
