SWEAT FOR A CAUSE 2025

Join us for our 4th annual community fundraiser event on Saturday, April 19th! One of our core beliefs at Wolf Heart Fit Co. is that 'Movement is Medicine'. For the past 4 years we have made it our mission to make an impact in the Healing and Mental Health space. What started in 2021 as a small workout event raising funds for a national anti-sexual violence organization (RAINN); has now evolved into creating our own 'Wolf Heart Fund' to provide therapy/counseling directly to the youth of our community who are struggling with the impacts of abuse/trauma.

As a lot of you may know, asking for help can be one of the most difficult first steps to healing. That task can seem even more impossible as a child/teen, especially if they are coming from a household that doesn’t communicate well, lacks support, is causing the abuse, and/or is low income and lacks the resources to seek help.

We have partnered up with a local organization (KZTA) to serve the Puyallup, Orting, Sumner Bonney Lake, White River, and Shelton school districts to provide therapy/counseling to students in need. KZTA will be working closely with school counselors to help connect with students in need of mental health support and apply the “Wolf Heart Fund“ to cover the cost of therapy. By connecting with school counselors, it creates an opportunity for students to receive help without having to open up and ask for it.

This agency has agreed to lower the cost of their visits to $50/session to ensure we are able to help as many students as possible, for as long as possible. In addition to that, they have agreed to continue seeing students who start therapy under the Wolf Heart Fund, even after the fund is depleted.

This years event will start bright and early! There will be 4 different event times to choose from. Check-In will take place at The Platform by Salon Ish, 30 minutes prior to your ticket start time! At Check-In, there will be Alani to energize you for the day ahead and optional Braids & Glitter! You will then be walked over to Wolf Heart Fit Co. to begin your 90 minute SWEAT FOR A CAUSE workout! This workout will have 3 parts: Cardio, Strength, and a Mobility Cool Down. Once you have finished working out, you will gather back at The Platform where we will have special gifts for each attendee, mimosas, sweet treats, a raffle, and optional Flash Tattoos(priced separately)!

100% of the event profit will go towards the 'Wolf Heart Fund' to provide Therapy/Counseling to children struggling with the impacts of abuse/trauma.

While we empathize with all mental health needs, the Wolf Heart Fund will be specifically for children/teens dealing with abuse/trauma. Below are a few resources to learn more about the sad reality that some are facing:

• RAINN
• SAMHSA
• NCTSN

If you have ever experienced any form of abuse/trauma yourself, my heart goes out to you. As you may know, healing is not an easy journey and it comes with many ups and downs. There may be days where you feel like you are completely moved on from the past, and there may be days where you feel completely suffocated by it. Experiencing any form of abuse/trauma is a painful, heavy, and complex hurt to carry in life- no matter who you are. With that in mind, this impact can become even more severe when trauma/abuse occurs in childhood. Research shows that trauma can completely alter the brain, especially when the brain is still in its developmental years. My hope with Sweat For A Cause is to come together as a community to take real action in providing support to those struggling, before it is too late.

Hurt people, HEAL people. I hope you are able to be a part of this impactful day!
