A day of fitness, strength & community supporting domestic violence survivors through movement, donations and hope.About this Event
💜 FIRST ANNUAL LIFT FOR HOPE 💜
Domestic Violence Supply Drive & Fitness Day
Join Beauties & The Beast Powerlifting Team on Saturday, October 17, 2026 for a full day of fitness, strength, fun and community as we come together to support survivors of domestic violence.
Lift for Hope is personal to me. Years ago, around Halloween, I was fleeing domestic violence when I was involved in a serious car accident that changed my life. I rebuilt—and fitness and powerlifting became a huge part of that journey.
Now it's time to use that strength to help somebody else. 💜
