Daniel Harper and Emmalyn Miller

Gold’s Gym takes a major role in supporting the Emmalyn Miller Event with two very special fundraisers!!! 
 

Bracelets:

Beginning on August 1st, Gold’s Gym will be selling bracelets which were specially designed by Daniel Harper (General Manager at Gold’s Gym in Charlottesville) to promote awareness for epilepsy and The Emmalyn Miller Event.  The bracelets are pictured above, being worn by Daniel and Emmalyn, and will sell for $5.00 each.  All proceeds will go directly to the 2008 Emmalyn Miller Event, which benefits the Epilepsy Foundation of Virginia.  ANYONE AND EVERYONE, MEMBER OR NOT, can purchase the bracelets.  Donations are also accepted at the gym in five-dollar increments.   Contact Daniel Harper for more information at (434) 973-1307.

Push-ups for Emmalyn:

Gold’s Gym is challenging the Charlottesville area to do 25,000 push-ups (collectively) in the month of August.  If the area can come together and do a total of 25,000 push-ups, Gold’s Gym will make an additional donation to the event.  Again, this is not limited only to Gold’s Gym members, it is open to the public so tell your friends, neighbors, and family about the challenge! 

Challenge Rules:

  • One person can come in for as many as 3 sittings
  • You can do the push-ups on your knees
  • You must have a staff member there to count your push-ups

 

So remember to stop by Gold’s Gym,

buy a bracelet, 

and say, “I’m here to do push-ups for Emmalyn!”

 Help us make this a HUGE success!
