We're partnering with CrossFit Freshwater to host a Big/Little Throwdown Fundraiser. We'd love to have you join us for a day of community, friendly competition, and most likely getting shown up by some incredibly strong kids!

When: March 28th, 10:00am-2:00pm
Where: CrossFit Freshwater (31020 Harper Ave, Saint Clair Shores, MI 48082)

Competition Format

We'll have two team formats:

2 person team: 1 adult athlete paired with 1 youth athlete. You can bring your own kid to compete with, or we'll pair you up with one of our Core City kids. Youth athletes from other neighboring gyms are also welcome to compete!
3 person team: 2 adult athletes paired with 1 youth athlete.

Athletes will move through a series of varied workouts that might include anything from kettlebell swings to box jumps to rowing. Each workout is scaled so both teammates can participate fully, regardless of experience or fitness level.

Heats will start at 10am and run through the afternoon, giving every team their moment to shine while everyone else cheers them on. Whether you're a CrossFit regular or completely new to the sport, this event is all about having a great time, working hard alongside your partner(s), and being part of our community.

Supporting the Program

This event is a fundraiser for the Core City CrossFit Kids program, and every dollar helps keep this awesome program running. Core City CrossFit Kids is a nonprofit organization who's mission is to make CrossFit accessible to lower-income communities while promoting physical and mental health. Core City CrossFit Kids offers FREE CrossFit classes twice a week to athletes ranging from ages 10 to 16. Helen Taylor founded this after-school program in June of 2021 with the goal of building confidence and community while teaching kids the value of hard work and discipline.

All proceeds go toward essential expenses like rent, insurance, coaching, equipment, and keeping these hardworking kids fueled with snacks. Your participation helps ensure we can continue making CrossFit accessible to youth in Detroit.

Come join us on March 28th at CrossFit Freshwater in St. Clair Shores, Michigan - it's always inspiring to see what these kids can do, and you might just surprise yourself too!
