Over the years, CrossFit Headquarters has raised and donated millions of dollars to support the charitable work that is integral to the CrossFit community. This support has extended to hundreds of programs that fund adaptive athletes, veterans, communities in recovery from substance abuse and addiction, cancer survivors, K-12 schools around the world, and many more. The extraordinary generosity of the community has enabled this work, which started with and has remained grounded in the CrossFit affiliate. CrossFit affiliates have always led the charge to help others: sponsoring fundraisers, adopting local charities, and hosting workouts to support their own members in times of need.
Now, affiliates need the help and support of the broader CrossFit community. Our affiliates stand as local centers for health, leading communities of all ages, fitness levels, and cultures. And their responses to the uncertainties and constraints surrounding COVID-19 have been remarkable. While many of us are forced to temporarily distance ourselves from one another, CrossFit trainers and affiliates have gone to extraordinary lengths to serve and support their members despite these challenging circumstances. They are truly the lifeblood of the CrossFit community.
It’s our turn to give back to them.
First, CrossFit is halting or reducing fees from our affiliates wherever their governments have mandated closures. We cannot ask our affiliates to pay fees when they are prohibited from keeping their doors open, regardless of the steps they are taking to continue to serve their local communities.
In addition, CrossFit Headquarters is working to provide immediate support to CrossFit affiliates by hosting an online competition with all registration proceeds going to affiliates in need. The details of this worldwide event will be announced in the coming days. This is an opportunity for all of us to come together and respond to the present uncertainty by lifting each other up and unifying our global community for the benefit of affiliates everywhere.
Comments on A Community Event for CrossFit Affiliates
amortizing lost monthly payments after the restrictions are lifted, isn't really "giving back".
Is that what they are doing? We lose all this income and they waive the payments for now but add interest when/if we can reopen? Same thing my landlord is doing, multi-million-dollar corporation, and they are simply deferring payments but you have to repay in 2020!! This is not help, it is merely burring small businesses in debt!
How will athletes scores be submitted?
TIA.
Thank you for the support and thank you for giving us a platform to reach those in need of guidance
Thank you so much -- we had to close just 2 months after opening, and this type of gesture will help us continue our journey! On behalf of the team at CrossFit Granica, Switzerland

Thank you CrossFit HQ for supporting us affiliates!
Thank you!! Where is the registration link, please?
I´m very glad receiving this news
We nee to understand "HOW IMPORTANT IS" the work of an affiliate.
Everyone we bring to this "CrossFit Lifestyle" build a strong "Fan Base" that sustained the whole "CrossFit Organism".
It´s really important to understand this point of view to realize that CrossFit (Games/Courses/Products) can only be sustained by a fan base of crossfitters and the affiliates is the direct responsible to build this base who will feed the whole organism.
I hope this World Scenario open our mind as part of the process and for the CrossFit HQ as well to keep the eye closely on the affiliates around the world giving business solutions.

지난 몇 년 동안, CrossFit 본부는 필수적인 크로스핏 커뮤니티의 자선 사업을 지원하기 위해 수백만 달러를모금하고 기부 해왔습니다. 이 지원은 수백개의 프로그램으로 확장되었으며 장애인 운동 선수, 약물 오남용및 중독치료자, 재향 군인, 암 생존자, 전 세계 유치원부터 고등학교 등에 자금을 지원하고 있습니다. 지역사회의 적극적 지원은 이 사업을 가능하게 했으며, CrossFit 정식지부에서 시작되어 현재까지 지속되고 있습니다. CrossFit 정식지부는 항상 사람들을 돕기 위해 기부 캠페인 후원, 지역 자선 단체 채택, 도움이 필요한 회원을 지원하기 위한 운동 워크샾 등을 주관해오고 있었습니다.
지금 이 정식 지부들이 CrossFit 지역사회로 부터의 도움과 원조가 필요하게 되었습니다. 우리 등록지부들은 모든 연령대와 피트니스 레벨 그리고 문화를 어우르며 우리 지역 사회의 건강을 이끌어가고 있습니다. 그리고 COVID-19 바이러스에 의해 야기된 불확실함과 제약에 대한 그들의 대처는 놀랍습니다. 많은 지부들이 일시적으로 서로에게 거리를 두는 상황에 처해졌지만 크로스핏 트레이너들과 등록지부들은 이런 어려운상황에도 불구하고 회원들에게 서비스를 제공하고 도움을 줄 수 있게 최선을 다하고 있습니다. 이들이야 말로 크로스핏 커뮤니티의 생명선입니다.
이제 우리가 그 들에게 돌려줄 차례입니다.
첫번째로 CrossFit 은 우리의 정식지부들이 각국 정부의 권고로 인하여 체육관 문을 닫는 동안에
제휴 등록 비를 중지 혹은 삭감을 할 것입니다. 체육관 문을 여는 것이 금기시 되었을때 까지 지속적으로 지역사회에 봉사하고 있는 그들에게 제휴 등록비를 요구 할수는 없습니다.
여기에 더해 CrossFit 본부는 모든 등록 비가 제휴사들의 지원에 쓰이게 되는 온라인 대회를 개최 함으로서CrossFit 제휴사들에게 즉각적인 지원을 할것입니다. 빠른 시일안에 이 세계적인 이벤트트에 대한 세부 사항을 발표할 예정입니다. 지구촌의 각 지역사회가 하나로 뭉쳐 세계의 정식 지부들을 지원함으로서 지금 겪고있는 불확실한 현재 상황에 하나의 공동체로서 대응할수 있는 기회가 될것 입니다.
So proud and humbled of being a part of this awesome network. I admire and represent us at the same time. I find this inspiring and another reason to keep working towards building up my practice fom my garage and see it affiliated once more.
Thanks a lot family
This is why I love CrossFit and our amazing community. Thanks HQ!
Thank you Crossfit HQ! We at CrossFit Petroglyph in NM appreciate all that you do for our CrossFit community worldwide!

THANK YOU!
Thank you CrossFit HQ.
Fantastic idea. I'm all in ..... At 75 years of age and a Marine, I never thought I would live to see the day where America would become Amerika.... I'm astonished by how easily we have been manipulated by fake media, and allowed fear to overtake our sense of reason. Stay strong and lead from the front.
God Bless

Always proud and happy to be a part of this!
I am thrilled to hear of this! Our coach has been providing at home WoDs. They were so gracious to allow its members to take home a piece of equipment so they could still workout at home. I’m looking forward to seeing your plan come to fruition! 🏋🏼♂️🙏🏼😀
Count the members of PURE Fitness CrossFit in! I think the whole community of CrossFit could use this right now. Bring something fun and positive to a situation that is really horrible for all of us. Thanks HQ!
All the feels. Thank you HQ!
This is wonderful. Thanks HQ! I believe many of our athletes will dig the competition. We've been posting videos on YouTube for daily workouts and in addition we've been using Zoom to stream one live workout a day. The attendance on that has been fairly amazing. I think the competition will give the extra umph that many of them need.

Thanks!

Thanks from @c0ach_gag1 and @crossfit_venegono

I'm not an owner...but this helps support our box...on behalf of all, well done!!!
All for one. One for all.
Can I be Pathos!!!!
Thank you for this! We are unsure what the future will hold for our affiliate. We are hoping to keep our gym alive and thriving after this!
How do we apply for a reduction of fees if our governments have mandated closures?

Thank you CrossFit HQ from CrossFit Fabriek 0492 Netherlands.
Thankyou so much - it is such a scary time on many levels, and the additional pain of seeing my Box slip away from me after 3yrs of agonising hours building it ip would be too much! I can not wait to open the doors again and get our Members fully back on their Health Journey. We have 5 x Frontline NHS Heroes at our Box and we love them!! Stay safe everyone x

This is awesome! just when you think you are alone you are not ...we have had great support from our members since closing our doors i only hope we are around when this is all over as truly love being a box owner and believe in everything it stands for 100%
It’s so awesome that HQ is here to support us as affiliate owners. This is my 10th year as an affiliate and definitely don’t want it to end. Thank you HQ.
Thanks HQ!!! Looking forward to the online event!!!
Bravo HQ
Thanx HQ!!! Unfortunately, we just paid our affiliate fee because we weren’t sure and we didn’t want to jeopardize our affiliation during these uncertain times. Our community believes so deeply in the CrossFit model, as do we, and we wanted to make sure nothing was going to get in the way of that during our mandatory shut down.
Oregon is going through a lot right now, everywhere is going through a lot, and trying to remain a shining light during these difficult times is our top priority. Our athletes deserve no less.
We are very excited to hear all the information about this upcoming competition! We’ll roll it out and combine it with our own GRIT Militia Open that we’re currently running with our athletes.
Good luck everyone and Be Well!

I was 100% sure that Coach Glassman would be the first to step up to help our community. We've passed the idea around about how to host an online competition but no one can do it better than HQ. Thanks so much for supporting the larger community!
Do you know how to sign up? I'm so excited
Many thanks to the CrossFit HQ and Affiliate team for working with us during this difficult time. Y'all are rockstars doing the best you can do to help us. Keep kicking ass!
