Rockwall, Tx – April 16th is declared National Pushups for Charity Day. People here in Rockwall County and across the country will gather on April 16th to do as many pushups as they can in 90 seconds. Every pushup raises money for severely injured men and women of the Armed Services.
Although not decreed by Congress, as they have more pressing issues to deal with now, 100 of the leading fitness service providers across the country have joined together to declare April 16th National Pushups for Charity Day, and are putting the resources and effort into this cause to make it so. It is an act of pure will to help those who have sacrificed so much for America.
“All of us have two core values in common,” says Paul Britt of Amazing Athletes and Britt’s Training Systems, a fitness training company here in Rockwall, “we believe in doing everything possible to get our communities to embrace a healthy and fit lifestyle, and we believe in giving back by helping people. I am doubly pleased to help out the Wounded warrior Project as a veteran and a Police Officer.
Pushups for Charity was launched in 2010 and has raised over $250,000 for charities worldwide. In 2011, the intention is to at least double that figure.
“This year we are doing a Pushups for Charity Challenge, Paul says. “Our team, called Regular Joe’s and Jane’s, is competing against the Rockwall County Police and Fire Departments to see which team can do the most pushups in 90 seconds. All Rockwall County residents are invited to join our team – the more the merrier.”
The Pushups for Charity event is being held at 10:00am, April 16th at the Dennis Watson Public Safety Building in Heath Texas.
