Give a Dollar or More? (Fight Gone Bad)

My Fight Gone Bad is this Saturday.  Raising money for charity here.
 
To support two great charities ...

THE SPECIAL OPERATIONS WARRIOR FOUNDATION

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation provides full scholarship grants and educational 
and family counseling to the surviving children of special operations personnel who die in 
operational or training missions and immediate financial assistance to severely wounded special 
operations personnel and their families.

THE CROSSFIT FOUNDATION

In 2010 the CrossFit Foundation was formed to serve as a resource for all of the CrossFit 
philanthropic activities. The foundation board works in an advisory capacity with the 
Sportsgrants Foundation on Fight Gone Bad, and in 2010 became one of the event beneficiaries 
insuring that funds raised by the community served the community.  This year the foundation’s 
primary focus is on the CrossFit Kids ISR Swim Program. The goal for ISR this year is to 
contribute $1 million through Fight Gone bad to train instructors which could save as many as 
300 children from accidental drownings in 2012 and beyond.  In addition to this primary 
objective, the foundation also maintains a fund for grants to causes supported by its affiliates, 
Operation Phoenix and community grants to members of our community in need of immediate 
assistance.
