Running towards issues. Finishing with answers.
Let’s make a change.
beneFIT Fitness Challenges is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit that raises awareness of systemic racism and racial disparities in the United States through fitness challenges. Many American citizens stand against racism, but do not know how to get involved. At beneFIT, challenge participants can promote social equality simply by moving their bodies. Also, many Americans are unaware of the deeply rooted issues that have perpetuated systems of control for people of color and other marginalized populations for centuries. beneFIT aims to educate others about social injustices by tying the amount of activity and the funds donated to statistics about social injustices that exist today.
We are focused on painting a picture of the broad, overarching ways in which systemic racism manifests in our modern society so include challenges focused on multiple aspects of racial injustice and racial disparities. Funds raised by challenge participants are donated to social justice organizations. Causes we care about include police reform, rent relief during the pandemic, food insecurity, under-representation of marginalized populations in children’s literature, restoring and preserving places significant to African American history, and more.
