January Fit Code Workout to Benefit Wounded Warrior Project

In 2015, Fit Code (Beverly, McCook, and Mokena) raised more than $13,000 for non-profits. From women’s shelters to childhood cancer foundations, Fit Code is committed to demonstrating one its core values of paying it forward by hosting a monthly workout for a cause; 100 percent of proceeds go to charity.

The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is the beneficiary of the January Fit Code Workout for a Cause.

The workout will be held on Saturday, January 23, at 9 a.m. The fundraiser is open to members and nonmembers, and it will be held at Fit Code’s Mokena location, 9418 W. 191st St., Mokena. Those attending should arrive 15 minutes early to sign up and complete a waiver.

Adults and children (ages seven and up) are welcome to attend. Participants should bring clean, indoor shoes and a water bottle. A $20 donation is required to attend.

“The Wounded Warrior Project’s mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors,” said Shelton Matsey, owner of Fit Code. “ As a 10 year veteran of the Army, I personally know that many of the nation’s service members come home injured, and they are battling wounds we can and can’t see including depression and post-traumatic stress syndrome. These individuals and their caregivers need our help, and the WWP is committed to providing unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs. Fit Code is proud to host a fundraiser to benefit the WWP.”

The WWP serves veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound, co-incident to their military service on or after September 11, 2001, and their families. As of January 1, 2016, the WWP serves approximately 83,000 registered alumni and nearly 11,500 registered members. For more information, visit www.woundedwarriorproject.org.
