RAISE ROOTS 🌱
A Community Movement for Wellness, Youth & Ethical Farming

What started as a conversation quickly became a movement.

This week, our partners at Wellness4Every1 shared devastating news: over $200,000 in funding for fitness and wellness programming across 15 schools was lost, impacting opportunities for hundreds of youth to access movement, mentorship, and healthier lifestyles.

At STRENGTH IN THE CITY, we asked ourselves:
What if our community came together to help raise it back by June 1st?

But if you know our team, you know we don’t think small.

We realized this was an opportunity to support even more of the causes and communities we believe in — including partners like Happy Life Ranch, a small local farm committed to ethical, sustainable farming practices and raising animals with care instead of shortcuts for profit.

So we’re launching RAISE ROOTS | a nationwide fundraising movement supporting:
• Youth fitness & wellness programming
• Accessible wellness opportunities in underserved communities
• Ethical farming & healthier food systems
• Community wellness experiences across the country

This campaign is about more than fundraising.

It’s about investing in:
The food we eat.
The future of our youth.
And the health of our communities.

Wellness should not be a luxury.

If people can raise millions online for causes they care about, we believe a wellness community can come together to create real impact too.

Whether you give $1 or $1,000, every contribution helps us build healthier futures together.

Donate. Share. Repost. Support the movement.

Let’s raise roots and grow something bigger than ourselves.
