Since CrossFit Enduro’s inception in 2012, we have striven to be a fitness community who engages with other communities. We have participated in and organised various fundraising events, including Hope for Kenya, Barbells for Boobs, and CrossFit for Hope where proceeds went towards the Children’s Cancer Foundation.
In 2014, we launched our annual fundraiser – Project DANA. Dāna is a Sanskrit and Pali word that connotes the virtue of generosity and giving. Our event champions the cause of ‘Movement for Everyone’ and focuses on raising funds to sponsor organisations close to our heart.
For 2014 to 2016, we helped to raise funds for Runninghour‘s Annual Run (in 2015 and 2016). This is the only Run in Singapore where participants can run alongside other visually, intellectually and physically-challenged runners.
We are honoured to work with Runninghour, a local NGO that uses mainstream sports to promote an inclusive Singapore for the special needs community.
In 2018, Project DANA helped to raise funds for #asinglelove, which aims to provide support for single mothers, and also our furry friends at the Lily Low Shelter.
In 2019, Project DANA raised funds in tribute to Simon Greaves and to raise awareness of suicide.
In 2020, Enduro supported the Limitless Run who strive to raise awareness about youth mental health issues.
In September 2021, we completed half marathons on the rower together with 26 other CrossFit gyms from across 8 countries in South Asia. Organised by CrossFit South Asia, the 21k Throwdown raised funds for gyms that were hit badly by Covid and lockdowns. Our united efforts helped these gyms stay afloat, so that they could continue to serve their local communities.
On Dec. 16 2021, the Philippines was hit by the devastating super typhoon Odette. Two CrossFit gyms, CrossFit Siargao and CrossFit Subtero, were badly damaged. In addition, electricity and clean drinking water and food were in shortage on the island of Siargao. Together with CrossFit South Asia, Enduro pooled together donations in a fundraiser for the two gyms, and their local communities. We also participated in a workout in support for them.
