EVENT DESCRIPTION
Drop Deadlift Gorgeous
—
Drop Deadlift Gorgeous, hosted by Solcana Fitness, is a volunteer-led, community-driven event designed to empower, support, and create visibility regarding the importance of trans+ inclusion in sport. Drop Deadlift Gorgeous brings athletes, organizations, and our community together to envision a more inclusive and joyful world through friendly competition – all while raising funds for trans+ and gender-expansive communities. To date, DDG has raised over $200,000 for trans+ communities in the Midwest.
