Push Ups For Charity Huge Success At Least $7,144 Raised For Wounded Warriors!!

Push Ups For Charity Raises Over $7,144 in 30 minutes for Wounded Warriors!

This past Saturday 24 clients and trainers from Puravida Fitness did push ups to raise money for the Wounded Warriors Project which helps wounded veterans when they return home. It was a great way to say thank you to our vets for their service and dedication to our country.  The total number of push ups was 1,719 and so far we have raised over $7,000 just by looking a the pledge sheets we had. There are some more we need to collect so we anticipate this to be a much higher total. This was all accomplished in about 30 minutes.  It goes to show you what a few people dedicating a bit of their time and working together can accomplish! We posted some pictures below and will have a video up later this week. If you missed this one don't worry we'll be doing many more in the future.
