Plank, Pause and Give Thanks!

This November, CHF is bringing back Planksgiving — a fitness challenge that combines strength with a little gratitude along the way.

As you work on building a stronger plank throughout the month, take a moment to think about what keeps you grounded: the people who support you, the community around you and the things that keep you moving forward. Let’s strengthen our cores, practice gratitude and finish November feeling stronger inside and out.

Around the Center

Equip the Future: Give Forward

Thanks to the generosity of our CHF community, we raised $40,904 during October to support new equipment and enhanced spaces in the future Center for Health & Fitness.

Our recent Mahjong event was also a packed house, and funds raised from the event went directly toward supporting the new CHF. We’re so grateful to everyone who participated and helped make it such a success and had fun will doing it.

While our Spooktacular Challenge may be wrapping up, our fundraising efforts are continuing into November! Every gift brings us one step closer to creating the new CHF experience our members deserve, and there’s still plenty of opportunity to get involved.

Stay tuned for November fundraising updates, progress toward our goals and more ways to support the future of CHF.

Thank you for keeping the momentum going and continuing to invest in CHF!
