The Coppell event will mark the 4th year that the Coppell Fire Department and Coppell Police Department will participate in the event to help raise awareness and money. “Our goal is two-fold,” explains Brad Linder, owner of Get You In Shape, the Coppell fitness company running the Pushups for Charity event here in Coppell, “we want to show our support for the wounded warriors who have sacrificed so much for our freedom and security, and we want to engage our local community in a fun way to get fit.”
Through the 5th Annual Pushups for Charity, Americans throughout the country will show their support of the 1.4 million men and women who are currently serving by doing as many pushups as they can in 90 seconds. Pushups for Charity’s goal is to have Americans complete 1.4 million pushups and raise $1 million to serve troops through the Boot Campaign, which helps veterans by providing jobs, housing, education, wellness, urgent assistance and family support. In past years, Pushups for Charity has raised more than $600,000 for the Boot Campaign.
Devote 90 seconds to pushups and you will make a life-changing impact on the lives of those who bravely serve our country. Join the Get You In Shape Fitness Pushups for Charity team here: www.PushupsForCharityCoppell.com
