Lift Up a Child 2026

What: Lift Up a Child is a strength-based fitness challenge combining high-intensity WODs and Olympic lifting. It’s designed to test your limits while giving back to children in need. 

Why: Every lift, every rep, and every dollar raised makes a difference. 100% of proceeds go to CASA of Southwest Missouri, ensuring more children in foster care have the support they deserve. 

Who Can Join: Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, this event is for you! Gather your friends, push your limits, and make an impact together.

The Workout is Tough but foster care is tougher. Imagine how it would feel to be told that your mom isn't "safe" to be around. Imagine being pulled away from your friends and everything else you've ever known. Imagine walking into a room full of people dressed in suits, talking about what should happen to you next. Then, imagine someone standing up for you and saying the exact words you want to say about your situation, but don't know how, because you are only 7 years old. CASA exists to be that someone, so that no child has to face the foster care system alone.
