Pull-ups with Purpose™

Think you’re strong? We do too. Strong enough to do some pull-ups? Great. Let’s give those pull-ups a purpose!

Too many veterans face a difficult or even tragic transition from the military, but the Wyakin Foundation is rewriting that story. Pull-ups with Purpose™ ensures our veterans have access to the resources they need to reach the healthy futures they deserve. By funding programs that fill critical gaps in mentorship, community engagement, professional development, academic support, personal wellbeing, and emergency assistance, Pull-ups with Purpose™ is your chance to stand for our Warriors – simply by doing pull-ups!

It’s fun and easy to do your part:

1. Click “Join” to create your personal or team page or to join an existing team page.

2. Find your sponsors (family, friends, and co-workers are a great place to start).

3. Get practicing; you’ve got plenty of time.

There are two ways you can participate!

In-Person: Attend the event on November 13th, 2021 at Fireside Crossfit; 490 E Schiller Ln #100, Meridian, ID 83646, and crank out as many pull-ups as you can in five minutes! The event will start at 10 AM and will continue throughout the day.

Virtual: Be part of a team and create change no matter where you live. It's easy to participate. During the weekend of November 12-14, you have five minutes to do as many pull-ups as you can. Ask a friend to time you and to keep track of your total. After you're done, come back to your pledgeit profile page to log your total.

Not into doing pull-ups? Trust us, we get it. Sponsor a participant for as little as a dollar ($1) per pull-up, and you’ll be stepping up for our veterans the way they stepped up for us.

Join Wyakin Foundation to do Pull-ups with Purpose™ and use your strength to help our Warriors find theirs.
