FORT HOOD WOD: DECEMBER 5TH SCHEDULE. . .
For our regular clients, the schedule will remain the same. For those who are not members to CrossFit Monroe, you can come at 9:45 and participate in the WOD. The minimum donation is $15, with all proceeds going to the fundraiser.

Here is the link to donate: Fort Hood Fundraiser

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. More information to can be found
here.
