ABOUT THE EVENT Join us for the 4th Annual Sweats for Pets at South Naperville Strength, home of CrossFit Resurgence, as we come together to raise funds and find forever homes for adoptable animals! This year’s event features “The Henry Workout of the Day (WOD),” honoring the late Henry, a cherished pet of a CrossFit Resurgence member and the event’s lead organizer, Katie. Henry’s legacy of love and joy inspires us to make this day one of compassion, community, and maybe a little sweat. HOW IT WORKS From 8am to 12pm, participants will take on their choice of workout—or simply cheer from the sidelines—while we get ready to welcome adoptable pets at 10am. Whether you’re a CrossFit pro, brand new to the sport, or just here for the puppies, there’s a place for you. 3 WAYS TO JOIN Seasoned: Take on the full workout challenge. Scaled: A modified/less intense workout—go solo or team up with a partner. No workout: Skip the sweat, enjoy the animals, and join in on raffles. WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT Expect a fun, high-energy, and heartwarming morning filled with wagging tails, cheering, and community spirit. Every registration and raffle ticket purchased goes directly to SAYv Animal Organization, helping homeless animals find the safe, loving homes they deserve. TICKETS AND REGISTRATION Seasoned and scaled registration: https://tinyurl.com/SweatsForPets4registration No workout: No ticket required—just show up and enjoy! Pro tip: Check back 3–4 days before the event for our updated list of adoptable animals. Come sweat, smile and help us SAYv lives—one workout, one raffle, one adoption at a time. We can’t wait to see you there!
