Raise Money to “Move Through Cancer”
Since 2013, Endorphasm fitness, founded by Erica Porter aka Jungle Grrrl of WOW: Women of Wrestling, has provided a fitness experience that strips away the bullshit, sharpens the mind and body, and helps clients reach beyond their perceived
limitations to accomplish their goals. Looking to expand its contribution to the community, Endorphasm is now thrilled to
announce the creation of The Endorphasm Foundation; A non-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals to move past obstacles in their life by embracing the profound healing power of “endorphasm” and their community.
WHAT IS AN ENDORPHASM?
en-dor-pha-sm (noun, verb, adverb) the moment during physical exertion when you
feel that anything is possible.
WHAT IS BURPEES FOR BOOBS?
Burpees for Boobs has been the signature endorphasm fundraising event since 2016. For the first 3 years, the proceeds went to the Massey Cancer Center in Richmond Virginia. However, with Erica’s diagnosis in 2020, the event now serves the
Endorphasm Foundation.
It is a one-day fitness challenge to be held October 9, 2021 that asks gyms, studio owners, and individuals to participate in the completion of 500 burpees in one-hour or less. The task can be completed as a team or you can “ironman” it.
WHY 500 BURPEES?
Because burpees are badass; a beautiful, compact, whole-body event! And, living with cancer isn’t easy, so this challenge isn’t either.
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?
Register individually or become a “supporter” or create a team.
https://give.endorphasmfoundation.org/campaign/support-us-now/c333713
Get all your friends (or members if you manage a fitness facility) to sign up or join your team and support the foundation and the amazing work Erica is doing.
On October 9th, 2021, do your burpees in less than one-hour at any time during the
day.
Your donation goes directly to the Endorphasm Foundation and is tax deductible.
I WANT TO CREATE A TEAM, WHAT DO I DO?
Please create a team and set a goal at:
https://give.endorphasmfoundation.org/campaign/support-us-now/c333713
**Please do this a few weeks before October 9the, so we can address any issues that come up, and you have time to share it with your network.
WHAT MORE CAN I DO TO HELP?
Make a spectacle of yourself. Action breeds action! Set the tone. Post a picture or video of your badass self or group doing those burpees and tag:

PRIZE
The organization/team that raises the most money will get a personal visit from our Founder and a one-of-a-kind gift that will make everyone jealous…and bragging rights, of course.
WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT HELPING ERICA PORTER AND HER FOUNDATION?
Because Erica is doing great things for the community and is one of THOSE people. You know? One who lights up a room and would give the shirt off her back to help others. PLEASE visit ericadporter.com. to learn more. You will be inspired.
WILL I GET A T-SHIRT?
If you are part of a team, your team leader will be asked for a final size and count on September 10th and the t-shirts for all your team members will be drop-shipped to your team leader. If you are an individual participant/supporter and would like a t-shirt, please send an email to carlo@endorphasmfoundation.org with your size and the address
where you would like it sent.
WHEN DOES REGISTRATION END?
There is no deadline. You can become a fundraiser or simply donate and do burpees the day of the event. However, if you choose to be a fundraiser (which we really appreciate because it actively involves your whole social media roster,) for maximum success you’ll want to allow ample time to build your team and share your fundraising goals with your
social universe. We suggest you create your team https://give.endorphasmfoundation.org/campaign/support-us-now/c333713 at least a month in advance of the event.
WHAT KINDS OF SUPPORT PROGRAMS DOES THE ENDORPHASM FOUNDATION
PROVIDE?
The Endorphasm Foundation is both strategically and tactically focused:
Strategy – Work with the oncology professionals to ensure self-care through
movement is formally incorporated into the patient treatment plan.
Tactics – Make certified cancer exercise professionals available at no cost to
any cancer patient wanting to move through cancer.
