Welcome to the Turmeric & Tequila Podcast! I’m your host, Kristen Olson, and today we have an inspiring episode lined up. We’re diving deep into the Do More Charity Challenge 2024, a CrossFit-based competition bringing communities together to support various worthy causes. Joining us are two remarkable guests: Katie Robino from the Third Way Center, a nonprofit dedicated to helping youth, and Angie Smith from Community Banks of Colorado (NBH), a key player in the event since its inception. We’ll explore the significance of self-care, the rejuvenating power of nature, and how communal events like this foster a supportive network. We’ll also touch on the incredible impact of live music, the inclusive nature of the competition, and the substantial financial benefits for the charities involved. Plus, stay tuned for exciting details about the event’s growth, our wonderful sponsors, and how you can get involved! Let’s get started!

WHAT IF there was an event where athletes of ALL AGES and SKILL LEVELS came together to compete for the GREATER GOOD?
WHAT IF we challenged ourselves to lift even more reps, do more squats, and touch more lives than the years before?
We IMAGINED that we could and WE DID. Since 2015 the Do More Charity Challenge has raised over $1.7 MILLION for charities across the nation.
So, let’s join forces and make this year’s Do More Charity Challenge and even MORE POWERFUL event that will make a lasting and meaningful difference for our COMMUNITY.

Katy Rubin:
Bio: I have worked in the nonprofit world for four years now. I joined Third Way Center a year and a half ago and in the short time I have been here, it has been incredible to see the impact this organization has on our residents. One of my passions is helping others and I am fortunate enough to work for an agency that does just that. In my spare time, I enjoy making new connections, taking my family on adventures in Colorado and out of state, and being outside as much as possible!
