Barbells 4 Breast Cancer



 Fitness Together-Capitol Hill is teaming up with the National Breast Cancer Foundation to bring you the first annual Barbells 4 Breast Cancer. Each year nearly 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 die. Approximately 1,700 men will also be diagnosed with breast cancer and 450 die each year. We’re fighting back! Join us for our bench press competition, t-shirt give-away, and raffle! Help Fitness Together-Capitol Hill raise as much as possible during national breast cancer awareness month this October!


There are two ways to sponsor…

1.) Individual Sponsorship
Individuals may sponsor Barbells 4 Breast Cancer by monetary donation or by supporting a participant. It is optional for all of our individual sponsors to receive public recognition, as a thank you, on our Fitness Together-Capitol Hill blog.
