February Meetups are here!

Initial 1:1 meetups have been set up and posted in Slack. See the following note from beater for details.

The goal is to grab coffee, a beer, lunch, or whatever works best for you both, and spend some time getting to know each other better. Whether you chat about life, work, fitness, or anything in between, it’s a great way to strengthen the brotherhood. No rules, except that it shouldn’t be at a regularly scheduled beatdown (but grabbing 1:1 coffee together afterwards counts!)

Rule #2: post a pic on 2nd F when you meet up – feel free to let us know something cool you learned about the other guy.

Looking forward to seeing you guys jump in!

If you aren’t on the list but wanted to be, let me know and I’ll get you paired up.

F3 TheCapital’s 50/50 Superbowl Squares Fundraiser

Please consider donating to help our NJ Bros climb Mt. Kilamajaro.  

🏈🏈🏈 With the NFL Playoffs in full swing, F3 The Capital’s annual 50/50 Super Bowl Squares fundraiser is back!  🏈🏈🏈

Each year, F3 TheCapital raises funds to cover our region’s annual operating expenses (~$500), and the rest goes to a worthy cause. Last year, our region’s generous PAX raised over $5000 for FARA.

This year, surplus funds will support F3 New Jersey PAX Hei Hei (Jeff Harmon) and his 30-person team to summit Kilimanjaro. Hei Hei’s journey is unlike any other. Confined to a wheelchair since 2017 due to Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), a relentless degenerative disease, Hei Hei’s ascent symbolizes more than just the physical conquering of a mountain, it’s a start of a movement called https://myimpossible.org/ (501(c)(3) Public Charity · EIN 99-1616736). My Impossible’s vision is a world where everyone, regardless of their challenges—be it physical, mental, emotional, or socioeconomic—can overcome their own personal “impossibles.”

You can buy Super Bowl Squares for $10 each. Squares are randomly assigned, with My Impossible getting 50%, with winning squares after each quarter (10% payout) and final score (20%) – see attached grid example from last year.

** My Impossible is partnering with SPARTAN Races. For every $100 donated to Super Bowl Squares, you will receive 1 code for a free SPARTAN race ($200 = 2 free codes, etc.).

IMPORTANT: This will be a national fundraiser, so when buying your squares, in the memo field, please include your F3 name, Region, and Home AO. (For example, “Horshack, TheCapital, FreeState”) This way we will be able to group PAX from the same Region / AO on the same grid. Spead the word at your AO, and hit the link to buy your squares today!  Deadline to buy squares is 12 noon on Super Bowl Sunday February 9th.
