Total Flex Gym Hosting Law Enforcement Fundraiser

WAUKESHA, WI — James Newman, owner of Waukesha's Total Flex Gym is hosting the first-annual Charity Push-Pull Pig Roast to help raise money for local law enforcement agencies.

The event will be held at the gym, 400 S. West Ave. on Saturday, Aug. 31 from 10 a.m. through 4 p.m. and perhaps later as they raise money to help local law enforcement agencies raise the funds needed to each purchase a modernized rescue vehicle.

"I am a Navy Veteran, live in and own a business in our community. I support our local Law Enforcement and first responders fully," Newman said to Patch. "Therefore, we will continue to hold events every year to help raise money to support them."

The push-pull challenge is a spectator event, and will have nearly 20 lifters registered to compete.

Newman says they've also collected close to 20 different raffle items from other local small businesses. These items are to be raffled off, and all the proceeds go to the tuck fund.

Items collected to include a grill, a fishing trip, a 50-inch flat screen television, a free massage, a free chiropractic session, and gift packages at local salon for hair and manicures.
