Get "Fit for Fido" on March 19th at IB CrossFit

8 million dogs and cats are abandoned at shelters in the United States annually. 500,000 companion animals are euthanized every year in California alone. Want to make a difference? Join F3 Athletics Home of Imperial Beach CrossFit for a “Fit for Fido” workout on Saturday, March 19th. All proceeds benefit The Rescued Dog, a volunteer-driven non-profit rescue dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating dogs in need throughout California and Mexico.

“The Rescued Dog (TRD) strives to work with local area shelters and other rescue groups to create a better world for homeless pets,” said TRD Event Coordinator Kathleen Toomey. “We are a small rescue but in our 2 short years of operation we have already saved over 300 lives. 100% of the money we raise is used to help rehabilitate our rescue dogs.”

Athletes of all abilities are welcome at the “Fit for Fido” event which will feature heats for experienced CrossFit athletes as well those who are new to the sport.

“If you have been part of the CrossFit community you are already aware of CrossFit’s willingness to give back to its community and others,” explains F3 Athletics owner Daniel Rios. “If you are new to CrossFit this event is a great opportunity to experience the passion and powerful impact of positive like minded people, while giving back to a great cause.”

The event will also include food, raffle prizes, and adoptable pups. Tickets start at only $10 per person, advanced purchase recommended. Learn more at www.fitforfido.yapsody.com or call 760-459-9959.

“We believe that we can change the world for the better, one athlete, one workout at a time,” says Rios. “With this community mindset we can serve organizations like The Rescue Dog with their efforts in placing dogs in loving homes and educating adopters on the responsibilities of dog ownership.”
