THANK YOU TO OUR PLATINUM-LEVEL SPONSORS

Fundraising Has Never Been So Satisfying

Hosted by Pridefit Gym, Lifting Spirits is a full day of competitive lifting that supports early-childhood health initiatives in the Twin Cities. Show your strength and help kids thrive—what could be a better way to spend a Saturday?

When you join as a competitor, you'll raise more money with every pound you lift. Not up for pumping iron? No problem—Lifting Spirits is just as fun for spectators. Your admission fee goes directly to our partner charities. Cheer on your friends and family and witness stunning feats of strength for a great cause.

Event Day Fun

The festivities start at 10 a.m. Then, the lifting begins with eight different divisions competing in five event categories. Meanwhile, bands will play and vendors will dish out food and drink (with lots of health-conscious options, of course). Come join the fun!


Cool off with craft beer, soft drinks, and a juice bar.

Line up for brats, pork chops, and veggie dogs hot off the grill.

Get tacos, pitas, and more from global vendors and food trucks.

Celebrate your friends' wins with a post-meet ice cream social.

Start the day with complimentary hot coffee and tea.


Events wrap up at 4 p.m., but you're welcome to spend the rest of the day relaxing in the park or joining your favorite athletes at one of several nearby afterparties.

Strong Bodies, Strong Communities

Lifting Spirits directly supports early-childhood health and nutrition efforts throughout the Twin Cities, from physical education programs to family food shelves. Last year, the event raised more than $10,000, funding programs that aided thousands of youth from birth to age 6.

We're a competitive bunch, so we think this year we can collectively lift more weight and raise more money. Want to help us?

It's just $9.99 to get in the gate. From there, you can make pledges on your favorite athlete and increase your donation based on the weight they lift. Together, we all get stronger.
