What is Hope for Kenya? Hope for Kenya provides a unique opportunity. By providing educational opportunities and relief from hours of daily water cartage, CrossFit can help Kenyans take major strides away from subsistence farming and poverty.

What is Hope for Float? Hope for Float leverages the expertise of Infant Swim Resource to save childrens' lives. Each year, hundreds of families are devastated by the accidental death of a toddler in a swimming pool. Drowning can happen at home, at a beach, or even at a lifeguard-supervised facility. The most effective way to stop children from drowning is to teach them to save themselves. CrossFit supports ISR in their quest to stop infant drowning.
