strategy.
a one-for-one model
As an advocate for social improvement, and to grow as an organization, we are committed to addressing ongoing issues that our people face while living in poverty.
Regarding our fundraising strategy, it's best described as a 'one-for-one' exchange. That is, for every [one] dollar donation during any of our live events, all of our Pushup Volunteers onsite will do one pushup together. It's important to note that not all of our volunteers contribute by doing pushups. We welcome all walks of life to join us and help serve the community in many other ways.
