SYNERGY STRENGTH – ATHLETE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Synergy has long stated that one of our missions was the support of strength sports with in our country, province, city an gym walls. The athlete assistance program is just one more effort on our behalf to support the sports we love and the athletes competing within them. Synergy has decided to put all proceeds of certain items in the Synergy store towards an athlete assistance fund to support those in the “TRAIN to WIN” programming. The funds raised will be set-aside monthly for the use of assisting athletes trips to major competitions (Nationals, Regionals, etc.). The sports we will be supporting are POWERLIFTING, CROSSFIT, and STRONGMAN. Strongman will be supported in individualized campaigns as the group is very small. All the regularly raised funds will be set-aside for those competing in powerlifting, and CrossFit and split 50/50 between the two sports and used first to support the Synergy CrossFit team heading to Regionals and the Synergy Powerlifting team to heading to Nationals.
**Why not weightlifting? – luckily weightlifting is a Sask Lotteries funded sport and they are well funded provincially an the financial needs of athletes is not near as high as the other sports. With this in mind, Synergy will be assisting those in need the most.
AUGUST AAP PRODUCTS
In August we will have two items for athlete assistance;
– Protein Powders – all protein powders (all brands and flavours) proceeds will be going to Quinton Falk of the Synergy Strongman Program. Quinton has represented Synergy Strength at 105kg Canadian Strongman Championships in Nova Scotia last month and soon to represent Synergy at Canada’s Strongest Man (CSM) in Quebec. Quinton like all athletes is forced to pay for all of these trips out of his own pocket, which is not cheap, if we can assist his path we will.
– Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s) – All flavours and brands of BCAA’s will be going to the Synergy AAP for the month of August. If you are interested in supporting our athletes and re-filling you BCAA supply this is the time to do so.
