Many in the CrossFit community were affected by the tragic shootings at Fort Hood, but none as directly as one of our affiliates, Lumberjack Crossfit . Four members of that affiliate were killed.
CrossFit is launching a hero WOD fundraiser for our four fallen Soldiers. On December 5th, we are asking affiliates and individuals to do two things: participate in the workout (as a display of solidarity with Lumberjack CrossFit) and to reach out to family, friends, and strangers to donate whatever you can.
With the help of the CrossFit community, we can assist the men and women at Ft. Hood and Lumberjack CrossFit to raise money for the families of the fallen, and the future needs of the approximately 30 wounded.
The long-term needs of these families and the wounded are significant; many of the wounded are still in intensive care. Most will not fully recover from being shot multiple times at near point blank range with a .357.
Our community clearly has the ability and commitment to make a difference for these folks. Let’s turn out on the 5th and show our support by registering as a fundraiser now.

Join in and make one workout count for these families.
I am in for this… I’ll make a special Saturday workout for this one.
I formerly served with the 27th Eng. Bn. (CBT) (ABN) at Ft. Bragg, now I own CrossFit Gulf Coast in Sarasota, FL and we will do our utmost to support you in this.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy.
Sirs, we are in. Our deepest sympathy to the families, and your affiliate members and friends. We are with you in remembering the great people that passed away and are also with you physically to honor them on the 5th.
God Bless you all, and Thank you.
It will be an honor to join in. Count CrossFit CenTex in !
If you are in the area, come on out and join us at Fort Hood as we do the Hero WOD – we’d love to have you join us!
I will be there with you all on December 5 in remembrance of those who serve and who have fallen. Mark – Twin Falls, ID
CrossFit Slayer is going to participate and raise funds. This hits home for our III Corps guys as well and we are all brothers and sisters in this.
