Last Chance to find your BRUIN weight lifter and pledge an amount toward each pound they earn... OR make a flat donation to the cause! Help St. Bede students improve their athletic training facilities! Saint Bede Academy Saint Bede Academy Athletics
We are excited to announce the 1st Annual St. Bede Academy Lift-A-Thon! This event is a vital part of our mission to provide our student-athletes with an updated training environment. Funds raised will go directly toward improving our weight room and purchasing new equipment to enhance the strength, agility, and safety of all our sports programs.
How it Works:
Each student-athlete will test their 1-Rep Max in four core lifts: Bench Press, Squat, Deadlift, and Hang Clean... Between now and May 16th.
Athletes are seeking "Performance Pledges" (e.g., $0.02, $0.05, $0.10, $0.15, or $0.25 per pound lifted) or "flat-rate" donations.
Example:
If an athlete lifts a combined total of 800 lbs and has a $0.10/lb pledge, the donor contributes $80.00. Donations can also be made as a flat rate of $10 - $100!
Event Details:
When: Weights will be calculated (by or before) Saturday, May 16th @ 10:00 AM
Where: St. Bede Academy Weight Room - LAST CHANCE FOR ATHLETES TO GET THEIR 1-RMs!
Description: Payment can be made easily via our official Venmo QR Code (or -Academy). For pledges, please ensure the athlete's name is included in the Venmo memo for tracking purposes.
Sponsor Example for Venmo Note:
Before you finalize and submit your pledge: “SB Lift-A-Thon Fundraiser, [Student Name] & [Donation Amount].” This can be a “pledge per pound lifted” or just a flat-rate donation amount!
