Community Trailblazer Award Scholarship & Benefit Gala
The Community Trailblazer Award Scholarship & Benefit Gala (CTBA) takes time to honour local community members making transformative changes & blazing an impactful trail for others to follow within our Community. Along with honouring community pioneers, F.I.T. For The Future also awards 5 graduating seniors with a $500 scholarship for their future educational endeavours. 1 scholarship is alloted for each high school within the Douglas County School System

This Benefit Gala also serves as our annual Fundraiser.

F.I.T Sports Camp & FIT for School Festival
Throughout the summer we host several events to bring Physical Fitness & Mental Health Awareness to our community. Each year we partner with different community organisations to execute these events.
​
This year we will partner with two wonderful organisations, Destine Too Inc. & Girls Who Bike, to host a Mental Health Awareness Kickball Tournament. Each team that registers to be a part of this cause will represent a different type of mental health concern we see today, such as: Depression, Anxiety, Suidcide, Addition, etc.
Our goal is to bring awareness to these concerns through physical interaction.
​
Each year we also give away 1,000’s of BookBags, School Supplies, & Haircuts at our annual Fit For School Festival. Each year we partner with UGotNext Barber Shop & many other organisations to make this event happen.
Community Brunch - Thanks giving & Christmas
Each year on
Thanksgiving & Christmas Day we feed the community for FREE!!!
​
This 3-part operation takes a great deal of hard work, logistical planning, and volunteers.
​
Each year we package & deliver 600+ free meals to community members who sign up throughout the year.
These meals are available to anyone with no stipulations or qualifications.
​
Aside from our deliveries we also host an on-sight event where we provide free hot meals, canned food items, nonperishable items, bread, jackets, gloves, blankets, socks, toiletries, free haircuts, and much more.
