The Competition that Makes a Difference, One Family at a Time
Compete for a cause
Our annual event “Lifting for Love” is our primary fundraising mechanism. Proceeds from registration, swag, sponsors, etc. are donated to the families we support.
Unite for family
Lifting for Love is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We provide a fundraising avenue for families looking to add to their family through adoption. Whether its donations, sponsorships or our competition, we donate on behalf of our families to their adoption agency of choice, to help bridge the financial burden that adoption brings. Family is our core.
“Lifting for Love is more than a competition its truly a cause. It was wonderful to see so many support this event and in support of adoption. The event allowed us to see high level athletes from all over come together and compete, all while raising funds for adoption.
Being a part of this event was a game changer for us and our fundraising. We’re one step closer to fully funding our adoption and we couldn’t be more grateful”
