HeartStrings Event Sunday Feb 12th!

As you may know, HeartStrings is a fun, physical fundraiser benefitting the Western Carolina Medical Society’s Project Access program.

Project Access is a program that provides free healthcare via physician volunteers to low income, uninsured residents of Buncombe County.

The 10th Annual HeartStrings event is taking place on Sunday, February 12 from 12pm-6pm at the Asheville Mall.  The goal for the event is to raise $50,000 for Project Access—in particular for needed medications and durable medical equipment.  Every little bit each of you may be willing to offer will help!

CrossFit Asheville will be organizing a team!  If you are interested in being our team captain please email ShannaDuvall@Gmail.com.

Registration fee is $30 per person. Everyone on the team must register online. We hope each team member will be able to fundraise above and beyond that initial fee. (Fundraising goal for each individual is $200.) There are GREAT incentive prizes and a free post party at Barleys Taproom two weeks after the event.

As we did in 2010 CrossFit Asheville will be providing the CrossFit portion of this year’s event.  Other events include Zumba, Walking or ChiWalking.

We hope that you will come out and show your support or sponsor one of CFA’s team members!

Please stay tuned for further details.

Thank you!
