About this Event
Grab a buddy and join us for the inaugural William D. Whisenant "Whiz" Memorial Workout. This inclusive and scalable partner workout is designed to push athletes, new and veteran, beyond their perceived limits while creating lasting bonds through shared (but safe) suffering.
Will's family and friends came together to start a non-profit in his name to carry on Coach Will's legacy through fitness, fun, and friendship. All proceeds for this event will go to FYR WillPower.
FYR WillPower is the Coastal Virginia affiliate of Forging Youth Resilience (FYR) founded in memory of Chesapeake Police Officer William D. Whisenant. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that empowers young people to build physical and mental strength for life by providing access to a network of community-based fitness programs and mentorship.
We use fitness to teach imperative life skills like perseverance, grit, determination, resilience, and confidence through teamwork, leadership, and goal setting to prepare our athletes to face the challenges life throws their way with grace, maturity, and strength.
