COT: This month is the accelerate campaign for fundraising for the national organization. In our region, we’re using the campaign to take a step back and think about F3 generally

>From a leadership perspective, we appreciate that about 80% of our guys are doing everything they can just to get out here to work out with us. We want those guys we are here to serve them. And if that’s all you have time for, we totally get it

But, if you do have time, we aske that you consider investing it in us, F3, to do something beyond merely coming to the workouts. We need guys pushing themselves and pushing other guys.

One example of the power of F3 happened in our monthly challenge channel. Rimfire queued a diet challenge in April because of that challenge YHC has lost a lot of weight. It makes a big difference in my life and rimfire was the instigator in the end we are much more than a group of guys that just work out together. Thanks for coming out to this workout. SYITG!
