Academy of Lions CrossFit is planning an event that will help promote CrossFit in Ontario.
They started a project two years ago training homeless kids in CrossFit and integrating them into the operations of their gym and community. They have since launched a Non-Profit Foundation and one of the kids who was homeless is now going on a great trip. His success story is incredible.
Here is a recent CBC Radio piece that describes it all.

They are trying to raise $5000 to help poor communities in Peru and also help Amedeo learn new skills and get new opportunities.
They are going to accomplish this via a Burpee FlashMob on June 11. Here is a video that describes the event.
