Hey 6S Fam! 

We are very excited to announce that 6S Fitness will be taking part in CF24 on October 2, 2021. CF24 is a National fitness event and fundraiser for the Special Olympics Canada Foundation to help bring awareness and inclusion to the Special Olympic community. This event aligns well with some of the values that we hold true to here at 6S such as community and inclusivity. 

CF24 builds their event around 3 main pillars:

1. Inclusion
   • Introducing Special Olympic athletes to local gyms and create long lasting relationships
2. Awareness
   • Educate and bring awareness to the Special Olympics Movement
3. Raising money for Special Olympics Canada Foundation
   • Special Olympics Canada Foundations goals:
     • Increase participation of those with intellectual disabilities
     • Increase volunteer and coach recruitment
     • To help those with an intellectual disability lead a healthier and happier life through the opportunity to participate in sport programs

This year’s event will consist of a “hero” style workout that we will be running during our classes on October 2. We will also have a local Special Olympic athlete joining our classes (coaches may make appearances too!). To participate in this event all you need to do is sign up for class as you normally would. Donations are not required but if you wish to donate to the Special Olympics Canada Foundation through the gym, you can follow this link https://cf24.ca/gym/?id=328. 

Additionally for $40, you can register through this link (https://cf24.ca/getstarted/) and join the 6S fundraising team.  It is not necessary to join, but by signing up there, you are able to collect donations under your name and our gym.  You will also get a CF24 t-shirt and be eligible for some sweet prizes based on the amount you raise.

We are super excited to put this event on in our space and we hope to see you there!

If you have any questions concerning the event talk to coach Cam in class or email him at cam@6sfitness.ca!
