The program was started by Steve in Camden NJ and has served boys and girls over the past 5 years. CrossFit KIDS Boston is applying to the program but until we are accepted I can’t accept donations. This is why I want to give this money raised to The 3Point Foundation. This is a program in our own City of Boston and in only one year making a huge impact in the lives of boys. They will add a girls program in the next few years!! Here’s more information about The 3Point Foundation and why I want to help raise donations for the program: When I made the decision to start a CrossFit program for kids 4 years ago I believed in opening access to all kids and teens. I have been building the program over these years with that goal always in mind. On October 4th we are hosting Beat The Streets fundraiser and we get an opportunity to come together as a community to raise awareness and some needed funds for an amazing program here in the City of Boston. I have chosen The 3Point Foundation as the program to support here in Boston. The fitness activity is basketball but the academic and character component is exactly the kind of program I believe will make a difference in our City. The 3Point Foundation is a mentoring program for urban boys. Only in it’s first year the program has already helped 20 boys in a program that has character building as the foundation of their teaching. They teach the boys the meaning of hard work, teamwork, honesty, respect, perseverance and what it means to live virtuosity--to do the common uncommonly well. They also have an academic component to the program that gives the boys an opportunity to challenge themselves intellectually. The program meets every week during the school year but the outstanding work extends into the summer. At the Fessenden School the boys attend a 4-week summer program and are given academic opportunities they may not have elsewhere. They are taught test preparation and intellectually challenged to reach beyond any barriers. The range of boys is as varied as the communities of Boston. Some will go on to educational opportunities at independent schools. Those with special academic needs will continue to receive support through the program throughout their education and involvement with the program. The HOOK—Basketball! The boys who are chosen for the program have demonstrated a commitment, discipline and enthusiasm in basketball programs throughout the various communities of Boston. The sport of basketball is used as a teaching method for life lessons. Some of the best college and high school coaches in the metropolitan Boston area work with the boys. My dream is to build a CrossFit KIDS program that serves underprivileged youth. The 3Point Foundation has a similar mission. Let’s support this program as ours gets started. Together we can promote education, character and healthy living for boys and girls in our amazing City! Thank you for your support! Tina
