Lose Gain Give Fundraiser

The LGG

In 2018, the first LGG fundraiser started. The concept is to Lose weight, Gain muscle, Give back to Winnipeg Harvest. Why not eat less food you don’t need, and give food to others who need it.

The hope is while someone is trying to improve their fitness and eat healthy, it also helps them stay motivated as a part of a bigger picture to give back to those less fortunate.

In 2018 and 2019 we collected over $2200 of food and cash donations.

Normally we include more prizes for fitness challenges but due to COVID-19, we are not able to do the testing, and so for this year we will be focusing our effort on simply raising funds for Winnipeg Harvest.

Contest Rules 2020

• Registration is $50; the $25 will serve as a donation to Winnipeg Harvest while the other $25 is added to the Top Cash Prize

Why we do the LGG

Everyone has a hard time motivating themselves for weight loss. This creates an unselfish desire to dedicate your goal towards health and doing something for others. Using the fund-raising as a way to hold your self accountable to the goal, and also making a different makes a more powerful motivation.
