Guerrilla Fitness Raises $56,886 to Participate in Fight Gone Bad IV Fundraiser
Event Benefits American Troops and Cancer Patients
MONTCLAIR, NJ, SEPTEMBER 29, 2008 -- When Montclair resident and CrossFit participant Jon Feigelson stepped up for his 17 minutes of the Fight Gone Bad workout on September 26th, he wasn’t competing just for himself. He was raising funds for the Wounded Warrior Project, benefiting wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq, and Athletes for a Cure, which supports prostate cancer research.
“Guerrilla Fitness was proud to participate in this event,” says Gregg Arsenuk, Guerrilla Fitness’s Owner. “We are proud of Jon who is the number one fundraiser in the country and alone raised $34,481. Along with our loyal member base Guerrilla Fitness collectively raised $56,886 for American Troops and Cancer Patients.”
In the first three editions of the Fight Gone Bad fundraising event CrossFit Affiliates raised more than $1.4 million. Fight Gone Bad is one of the most brutal workouts on the CrossFit menu, and the members of Guerrilla Fitness anted up for the challenge. “Guerrilla Fitness is a strong, supportive, and dedicated group of athletes, who when given a chance to help others in the community will do so in a big way” Arsenuk adds.
Fight Gone Bad took place on Saturday September 26th at Guerrilla Fitness in Montclair and at more than 300 CrossFit Affiliates throughout the United States. Guerrilla Fitness had 37 athletes participate.
“Through their generosity and commitment, CrossFit athletes are making the most of a great fundraising opportunity,” said Scott Zagarino, Executive Director of The Sportsgrants Foundation. “These athletes are taking their training to a higher level by providing much-needed support for our troops and the more than 2 million American families dealing with prostate cancer.”
Gregg Arsenuk and Jon Feigelson are available for interviews to discuss Guerrilla Fitness’s involvement in Fight Gone Bad, how in a tough economy they were able to raise significant money and Guerilla Fitness’s unique outlook on exercise.
