FIRST Jett Powered Competition a SUCCESS!



Our first Jett Powered event was held on Saturday, July 20, 2013 and was a smashing success!  Thirty-six amazing athletes showed up to support the foundation and perform an intense workout, appropriately named the "Jett Powered" workout.  Each athlete paid a registration fee of $20.  In addition, some athletes were sponsored for reps completed, which made them work even harder!  

The "Jett Powered" Workout

30 Minutes to complete AMRAP (as many reps as possible)

100 m Run
10 Ground to Overhead (using barbells)
10 Burpees
10 Air Squats
10 Hand Release Push Ups



This workout was intense and was a test of endurance for each athlete.  However, we all thought about how strong Jett is, which gave us all motivation to work hard.  Some even said, "If Jett can power through, WE can power through!"  

Jett was, of course, there to witness the event.  He was so excited about the workout that he fell asleep mid-workout as athletes were dripping sweat and working their hardest! 

Total donations received from this event came to $1700!! That number is still growing! Thank you to all those who made personal donations, bought Jett t-shirts, and, of course, participated in the workout.

This event brought people closer together for a great cause!  We had so much fun joining forces with the staff at Fit Farm Crossfit and plan on doing another Crossfit competition in the future.
