I am so so so excited 
This June in partnership with the Women’s Strength Coalition & the Fantastic Beasts Atlanta LGBT Powerlifting & thanks to the generosity of AK CrossFit, Atlanta will be hosting its first Pull for Pride event.
Pull for Pride is a deadlift exhibition open to all genders & sexualities & without weight classes or spandex uniform requirements. This celebration of strength started last year in 4 different cities and this year ATL joins the fun with Lis Smash as Meet Director.
The event will benefit Lost-n-Found Youth, an Atlanta-based nonprofit that exists to end homelessness for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, queer (LGBTQ+) and all sexual minority youth.
For anyone who wants to assist in planning or if you’d like sponsorship info, please email me & I’ll make sure you’re in the loop. We’ll have our first committee meeting this month.
I look forward to so much magic happening this June!
