Join Ranfone Training Systems and ACES for the 5th Annual Charity Workout &amp; Food Drive, a morning of movement, local businesses, new friendships, and giving back to our Hamden neighbors.
Food donations will support families within the ACES community, and monetary donations will support Connecticut Foodshare. This year, we’re working toward a $3,600 fundraising goal, 44% more than the $2,500 raised last year.
RTS is honored to host, and everyone is invited. If you already have a gym you call home, we’d still love to welcome you. Walking into an unfamiliar space can feel intimidating, so come with a friend, bring your family, and know there’s a place for you here. Join the workout or come to watch, meet new friends, and enjoy the morning.
In an effort to raise even more money this year, we’ve added a silent auction featuring community-donated items, including contributions from small businesses owned by RTS members. It’s also an opportunity to discover and support the local businesses that help make our community what it is.
Throughout the morning, enjoy:
<ul><li>An all-ages, coach-led charity workout.</li><li>A guided cool-down following the workout.</li><li>A silent auction featuring local products, services, and gifts.</li><li>A pop-up photo booth to capture memories with friends and family.</li><li>Free assessments offered by ProMotion Performance Therapy, an independently owned practice located inside RTS.</li><li>Coffee and treats generously donated by returning supporter Whitney Donut &amp; Sandwich Shop.</li></ul>
Check-in begins at 7:30 a.m. The workout starts at 8:00 a.m., with the morning wrapping up by 10:15 a.m. Please bring $10 and a food item per attendee.
Pre-register at <a href="https://events.rtsct.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://events.rtsct.com/</a> to help make check-in smoother and receive any required paperwork ahead of time. Each adult should complete their own registration. A parent or guardian can include children under 18 on their form. Walk-ins are welcome, too.
Can’t attend? You can still contribute financially, offer an item for the silent auction, or drop off food through November 20 at:
<ul><li>ACES: 205 Skiff Street, Hamden.</li><li>Ranfone Training Systems: 109 Sanford Street, Hamden.</li><li>Whitney Donut &amp; Sandwich Shop: 2574 Whitney Avenue, Hamden.</li></ul>
Requested food donations include water, juice, pasta, pasta sauce, cereal, oatmeal, beans, canned vegetables and fruit, and snacks. Please bring unopened items within their expiration dates and check operating hours before dropping off donations.
Invite someone who would enjoy being part of the morning. Every invitation helps us bring more neighbors together and do more for the families we’re supporting.
Making Hamden Stronger, Together.

New Haven Federation-Teachers

Drop the Charges on the Minnesota 15!Hands off Anti-ICE Protestors!

End I.C.E. Terror!
A Solidarity Fundraiser for the MN 15

Saturday,
November 14
4:00pm
New Haven Federation of Teachers Hall&nbsp;
267 Chapel St, New Haven

Featuring:
Callum Robinet, Minnesota 15 Defendant, Union Electrician and Organizer
Laurie Sweet, CT State Representative, District 91
Maria-Threese Serana, Union teacher and New Haven City Councilor, Ward 9
Michael Mapuvire, leading youth organizer at Citywide Youth Coalition
Leslie Blateau, President of the New Haven Federation of Teachers, Local 933
Alyce Coleman, CT Reach Fund and CT Civil Liberties Defense Committee
Nancy Burton, UU Social Justice Council Chair, Meriden branch of MIRA

In the early months of 2026, thousands of people around Minnesota gathered together to protect their neighbors from ICE's campaign of terror, halting the hated operation “Metro Surge.” Months later, the Trump administration indicted 15 of those people on federal charges for their involvement in rapid response, mutual aid, and protest.

The persecution of the Minnesota 15 is an effort by the federal government to punish, intimidate, and divide the movement that stood up to their violence. It is nothing less than an attempt to criminalize solidarity and protest. Building the strongest possible defense campaign for the 15 indicted is essential to protecting the anti-ICE, labor and immigrant rights’ movements at large.&nbsp;

On Saturday, 11/14, join neighbors and movement leaders to hear from Minneapolis anti-ICE, labor, queer liberation organizer, and IBEW member Callum Robinet, one of the Minnesota 15. Callum will be joined by other movement leaders and elected officials from around the state to speak out against this brazen attack on our rights, and to raise support and funds for their defense.

All proceeds go to the legal defense fund of the MN15.

Endorsed by: The CT Committee to Defend the MN15, New Haven Federation of Teachers, SEIU Local 1973 (4Cs), Hands Off CT, Teamsters 1150 Pride Caucus, Wesleyan Association of American University Professors, CT 50501, Citywide Youth Coalition, CT DSA, Socialist Alternative, CT Labor for Palestine, CT Civil Liberties Defense Committee, Workers’ Voice, Surveillance Off Our Streets—SE CT, and New London Civil Liberties Defense.&nbsp;
