As a gym owner in Connecticut, I’ve watched a lot of teams come and go—but few have impressed me like the student-athletes at URI Powerlifting. They’re not just lifting weights; they’re lifting each other up and putting Rhode Island on the strength-sports map. I’ll be donating 100% of the proceeds from this campaign straight to their club because the needs are real: multiple lifters are on track for Collegiate Nationals, and that means flights, hotels, and registration fees on top of essentials like safer, updated equipment and competition singlets so they can represent their school with pride. Your support doesn’t just cover costs—it helps bring powerlifting to Rhode Island in a visible, sustainable way, proving to younger athletes that integrity and resilience beat shortcuts every time.

What sets URI Powerlifting apart is their clear stance on what the sport should be: student-run, drug-free, and health-first. They’ve built a diverse, supportive environment where lifters challenge one another to be better—on the platform and in the classroom—and they’re pushing a cultural shift toward strength sports rooted in inclusion and accountability.

When you give, you’re giving back to the sport itself and investing in a future where young athletes lead with character. Join me in helping them get to USA Powerlifting Nationals, train on better equipment, and lead the charge for clean strength in Rhode Island.
