CrossFit East Side High
Donation protected
My name is Sonn Sam and I am the Chief Innovation Officer at East Side High School in Newark, New Jersey. Although there are some very real challenges facing Newark like violence, obesity and chronic disease, the youth are absolutely amazing. In the face of pure adversity, so many persevere and remain steadfast on their dreams and aspirations. It is from our love and admiration for Newark’s youth that we reach out to you for support.
I found CrossFit in 2011 and similar to many, my life has not been the same. Beyond becoming physically healthy, lessons learned in the box have also impacted me mentally and spiritually. I am truly a better father, husband, leader and overall human being. Not to get too sappy, but I share my story of transformation through CrossFit because I want to offer the same opportunity to Newark’s young people.
So, instead of talking about problems, we decided to do something about it. As of August 2016, we officially launched the very first non-profit CrossFit Affiliate in Newark. It is called CrossFit East Side High and is housed at East Side High School. (Please check out our website at www.crossfiteastsidehigh.com). Our goal is to offer a platform where students can learn how to improve their overall health and bring community members together to combat violence, obesity and chronic disease in their neighborhoods.
Here’s where we you can help. Similar to athletes who come to us in all shapes, experiences and sizes, so does your level of support. Please see the list of supports that may fit you best.

In the world today, it's easy to be consumed by negativity and sucked into a culture of complaining. However, today I am asking you to be apart of the solution. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will go far in transforming the lives of Newark's young people and communities. I thank you immensely for taking your time to learn more of such an important cause and look forward to your support on any level.
Sincerely,
Sonn
