The Fergie #55 Classic
When: Saturday 11/9
Where: Atlas Fitness & Wellness
What: Join us for "The Fergie #55 Classic" a fundraising event. Kolbi (Ferg) Ferguson earned a spot on Team USA to compete at Worlds the beginning of December. This will be his international debut. While his costs will be covered, his coach’s (Cord) will not be. We are hosting a weightlifting fundraiser to help cover the cost ($4,500) to get Coach Cord to Bahrain. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards hosting the event and travel costs for Coach. The event is named in honor of Kolbi's late father (Roy "Fergie" Ferguson Jr) whose football number was #55 while playing at South Carolina State. Please see all the ways to support and participate in this fundraiser below.
Compete: This is a fundraiser so it will absolutely be beginner friendly. Come compete for fun in snatch & clean & jerk against people in the same age/weight class as you! We will have experienced coaches available to assist you if you’ve never done a weightlifting meet before. Please contact us beforehand if you'll be needing assistance. REGISTRATION CLOSED
