Saturday, June 14th: Pupstarz Rescue Adoption Event
We’re bringing back our beloved dog adoption event with PupStarz Rescue, co-run by longtime CFSBK member Robyn O! From 11am to 1pm, the front of the gym will be filled with adorable, adoptable dogs looking for their forever homes. The event is fully managed by the PupStarz team, so swing by before or after class—come for the workout, leave with a new best friend!
Saturday, June 28th: 13th Annual “Stonewall” workout
On Sunday, June 29th, we’ll be hosting our 13th annual Pride workout: “Stonewall.” This tradition began at CFSBK in 2013 as a way to honor the Stonewall Rebellion—a week-long uprising that began on June 28, 1969, and became a defining moment in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
As always, the event is free to attend, and we invite all participants to make a suggested donation of $25 (or more!). This year, we’ll once again be supporting two incredible organizations doing vital work in the LGBTQ+ community: the Sylvia Rivera Law Project and the Marsha P. Johnson Institute. CFSBK will collect all donations, split them evenly between the two orgs, and post receipts following the event.
