Raise the Bar

Fundraiser

The Raise the Bar is an inclusive Olympic weightlifting competition for both youth and adult athletes. In partnership with Iron Acres Barbell Club and APEX P.W.R., this unsanctioned meet isn't just about personal bests—it's about making a difference. All proceeds benefit Organización de Amigos, funding free CrossFit and weightlifting after-school programs for students in Oregon public schools. Whether you're a seasoned lifter or new to the platform, this event is all about building strength, community, and opportunity.
