Awesome Team Event on April 25 in Los Altos, CA


Team FITBuddies is making a huge impact on the Audi Best Buddies Challenge: Hearst Castle event! Led by team captain Jen Pleimann, Team FITBuddies is ever-growing and a great example of how to fundraise as a team. Just off the heels of a successful Dine for Dollars, Jen and her team are hosting a big event on April 25!

Here's a little background...A couple of years ago, Jen started a fitness program (appropriately named FIT Buddies) at FIT in Los Altos (where she works) specifically designed for individuals with intellectual disabilities. She has now organized a team of HC riders to support and continue to raise awareness for the amazing people she works with on a day-to-day basis. Plus, now more people will learn about the great work her gym is doing.

Now for the event. On April 25, members of Jen's team and her fitness programs will come together to spin and compete in the Crossfit Challenge. They are welcoming anyone to stop in, take a spin, compete in a workout, or just enjoy the BBQ, dunk tank and other family activities. The whole day will serve as a great way for more people to learn about Team FITBuddies and how they are participating in the Best Buddies Challenge, as well as to hopefully recruit some new team members.

If you are in there area, stop in and meet this incredible team. If you can't make it, take notes on how to be a successful and inspiring team! Good Luck Team FITBuddies!

WHEN: Saturday, April 25 from 8am - 2pm
WHERE: FIT @ Rancho Shopping Center in Los Altos, CA, 600 Fremont Ave.
WHAT: Spin-a-thon, Best Buddies Crossfit Challenge, BBQ, Free Throw Contest, Kids Jump Zone, and more! $5 suggested donation.
