The 6th Annual RehabGYM Invitational Strength Meet is on Saturday May 18, 2024 from 10am-1pm! You are enthusiastically invited to come watch our amazing athletes show off the hard work they've put in all winter.

This strength meet is among the most diverse and inclusive you'll ever see, with lifters from ages 16 to 82 across three gender categories (Male, Female, and Open) having competed in the first five years. Our aim with this event is to destigmatize lifting heavy weights and create a safe, fun, and inclusive environment for those new to resistance training.

This year, we are again hosting a block party to accompany the lifting! Come cheer on the lifters while enjoying local food, drinks, art, and merchandise vendors, as well as music curated by DJ Aurora Risay.

Confirmed vendors this year include:
- Dougy Fresh Catering
- Dented Sky Design
- DB Gear
- SDR Clothing
- Slowpoke Exchange
- Astrobridge Artistry
- Earle & Freeman Law

The event raises funds for Rainbow Bridge Community Center in Barre. Rainbow Bridge uses donations to fund general operations, provide pro-bono mental and physical health and wellness counseling to LGBTQ+ youth, host their Team Tween youth group, and plan future fundraising events. Last year's event raised $1,400, and we're in a good position to exceed that amount this year. You can help by attending the block party! There is a 'suggested donation' of $5 for spectators of the event, with 100% of those being donated to Rainbow Bridge Community Center.
