Pull for Pride Portland
Tax deductible
Odd Barbell is bringing Pull for Pride to Portland!
Pull for Pride is a series of deadlift-only fundraisers created in response to the lack of spaces for LGBTQIA2+ people to safely engage in sport and fitness. Rooted in a celebration of TGNC participation, Pull for Pride has always drawn a sharp contrast with the norm in strength sport competitions, which commonly discriminate against TGNC athletes.
All Pull for Pride events benefit an LGBTQIA2+ organization local to the city's town in which it's being hosted. This model has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars since it began.
Pull For Pride is a program of Strength For All, a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
Who is Portland's Pull For Pride benefiting?
Prism Moves: Prism Moves originally opened as an LLC called Prism Fit. The business was created to fill service gaps in the fitness industry. The fitness industry centers white, thin, cis, heteronormative individuals and rarely makes room for those that do not fit this description. Women, BIPOC individuals, LGBTQ+ individuals, larger bodied humans and those that want to move their bodies for joy instead of weight loss rarely have access to fitness spaces that accomodate them and make them feel welcome, and Prism Fit was their space. As membership at Prism Fit grew, it became apparent the communities that Prism Fit attracted were the same communities that experienced wage gaps, meaning the generally accepted gym fees of $165 a month and up were not accessible. Prism Fit began offering sliding scale memberships and a once a week free BIPOC class, but the need for these memberships started to exceed the operational capacity of the business. Dissolving the Prism Fit LLC and creating the nonprofit Prism Moves allows for the organization to expand its free and sliding scale memberships, as well as create additional programs such as free youth and family classes, and continuing education for Prism Moves coaches and individuals interested in becoming fitness instructors. Prism Moves believes that fitness is for everyone and fosters inclusivity by constantly educating and committing to reducing racism, sexism, body shaming and toxic fitness industry norms.
When: JUNE 12, 2022
Where: 2312 SE CLATSOP ST, PORTLAND, OR 97202
