About Strength for Schools
Strength for Schools is back and stronger than ever! After last year's electric energy, we're turning it up with a fully sanctioned USS event that brings out the best in strength sport AND the community. We're lifting heavy and lifting for a cause—supporting student athletes at The Stead School.
ALL proceeds go to the school's athletics department- Since running the competition we have raised $10,000. Our goal is to raise another $10,000 this year alone that will go to the schools Field and Track to be built!!
Expect intense head-to-head battles, max lifts, and fast-paced action, but this isn’t just for the lifters. Bring your family, your crew, and your game face for a day filled with community, food, fun, and muscle-powered excitement!
