Pushups For Charity Estimates To Raise Over $8,400 For Make-A-Wish Foundation Of Metro New York
Pushups For Charity Long Island
WOW! What an experience. This weekend on January 23rd, the first (a nationwide movement) Pushups For Charity occurred at the Glen Cove YMCA.
There were great vendors, amazing presenters, Mayor Ralph Suozzi, the Make A Wish of Metro New York volunteers, and excited pushup participants. Without the assistance of our Pushups For Charity Team (all corporate sponsors), this event would not have occurred, so we want to express a great big thanks to the YMCA, American Community Bank, Stressbusters, Whole Foods Market, Vita Med Spa, Healing Arts Massage, Gold Coast Gazette, Glen Cove Youth Bureau, Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce, North Shore Gymnastics, GolfTec, Glen Cove Mansion, Power Travel, Glen Cove Hospital, East Norwich Rotary Club, and Changing Weighs.
The best part was seeing the energy in the room when the Pushup Challenge was on. The entire crowd cheered on the Pushup Participants which drove them all to achieve higher personal records. Every single person did more pushups then they ever thought they could because of the cause behind it. So after all donations are collected we estimate to have raised over $8,400 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Metro New York.
The Pushups For Charity Winners (only had 90 seconds to do as many pushups as they could) are:
Little Eva did 75: Most Under 18 Pushups
Alicia Belandi did 65: Most Female Pushups
Brett Kogel did 102: Most Male Pushups
Michele Frankel did 77: Most Modified Pushups
Tony Capobianco had over 55 sponsors: Most Sponsors
Congratulations to all of our winners at the Pushups For Charity Long Island event.
We will post some videos and pictures of the event this week and next to show you the excitement.
