16th Annual “Shmedfest” Raises Money to Assist Neighbors
A Virtual Community Celebration to Benefit Crisis Control Ministry
Shmedfest, a family-friendly music event benefitting Crisis Control Ministry, will be held virtually all day on Saturday, August 29. Follow Shmedfest on Facebook to tune in for great music, dance challenges, giveaways, and stories of impact from Crisis Control Ministry.
In addition, this year there is a new fitness challenge event called The Shmed, a fundraiser organized by F3 Winston-Salem held at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds. Bring your tent and camp out overnight with F3. The Shmed will be live-streamed, so you can register and workout from the comfort of your own home too. The Shmed includes four 45-minute workouts over a 24-hour period at 6 p.m., 2 a.m., 10 a.m., and 5 p.m. There will also be a 5,000-rep challenge and prizes for the winners!
“One of the ways F3 promotes Fitness, Fellowship and Faith is with events we call CSAUPs, or Completely Stupid and Utterly Pointless events. These physical challenges can take the form of many fun and rewarding physical fitness challenges. For Shmedfest this year, we are ‘modifying as necessary’ (another core tenant of F3 workouts) and hosting The Shmed!---A CSAUP that has a point this time.” said Greg Kenner.
