Fight for the Light.
The team at Lumber Yard Gym could not be more excited to invite you to The 2nd Annual Backyard Brawl!
This invite only, teams of 3 throwdown will take place on Saturday, October 19th & will once again partner with a local organization in their fight against human trafficking right here in our backyard.
The Lantern Project, based right here in Concord, has made it their mission to be an agent of change against this cancer in our culture that has operated in the shadows for far too long. Their work also extends into creating resources for parents to protect their children against online sexual exploitation…which could ultimately lead to trafficking.
Every participant & sponsor will make a direct donation to one of Lantern's most pressing needs, the Freedom Drive housing project. Learn more here!
Our sign-up options are as follows:
Minimum donation of $25 to register & throwdown or sponsor the Brawl.
Registration : $30 ($55 all-in, including minimum donation)
Registration + Exclusive Fight for the Light Tee or Crop : $55 ($80, including minimum donation)
*Registration Opens on Friday, August 31st*
*Shirt Pre-Order & Sponsor Deadline: Tuesday, October 1st*
At the Yard, we rarely do the bare minimum. Your additional support with donations in excess of $25 would go above & beyond in changing the lives of those that desperately need an advocate.
Last year’s fundraising total of $2,195 just scratched the surface for what we believe our Crew is capable of when united behind a common cause… We intend raise an audacious $3,500 for Lantern’s fight for the light this year. This goal starts, and ends with you. After our Crew donated over $10,000 to charitable causes last year alone, we’ve learned to never underestimate the generosity of our people.
This event won't only be exclusive to Crew members. If you're looking to spread Crew Love & invite friends to join in the fitness & fellowship, shoot us an email giving us their deets and we can reach out to them directly!

This will celebrate & showcase a collection of High Quality Humans who inspired with their efforts, encouraged everyone around them, and gave us all something to aspire to be. This team will receive a prize pack and a commemorative one-off tee, tank, or crop tank to recognize their character... not their athletic ability.
