The CrossFit Closer Community Project

ABOUT US

The CrossFit Closer Community Project is our way of giving back to the community we cherish so much. Our mission is to provide opportunities, programs and services that promote health and wellness within our gym and in the Kanata community.

The CrossFit Closer Community Project does this by hosting competitions, programs and events throughout the year that raise money to support local charitable organizations, and provide education, programs and services within our gym and in the Kanata Community.

​We are proud to use this program to help support charities like the CHEO Foundation, The Wounded Warriors of Canada, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa, and the Kanata Food Cupboard. We also partner with other small business and community organizations like Burger Builder and The Ottawa Military Family Resource Centre to offer programs and services for special and vulnerable populations.

A Kanata where health and wellness services are a priority and accessible to all individuals and populations.

OUR MANDATE

The CrossFit Closer Community Project

CORE VALUES

Four fundamental values express our philosophy and principles. These values guide and shape our culture, decisions and priorities.
​

Community
Our community is an inclusive, passionate, health and wellness driven group of like-minded individuals, businesses and organizations.


Leadership
We believe that the most significant change and impact within a community or organization come from the top down. We are committed to leading by example and providing inspiration and empowerment to our community through action.


Integrity
We are committed to the practices of honesty and integrity; we say what we mean and do what we say.

​
Personal Development
Health and wellness are more than just a physical state; we believe that to live a fulfilling and happy life we must grow and learn through personal development. The root of all our programs and services is offering a safe space for personal development and growth.

THE CROSSFIT CLOSER COMMUNITY PROJECT INITIATIVES

The CrossFit Closer Community Project is our way of giving back to the community we cherish so much. Your generous contributions to the CrossFit Closer Community Project are used to support our community initiatives and provide programs and services within our gym and in the Kanata Community.

Community Project Initiatives 

The Kuy Ngo Memorial Initiative 

This initiative is in honour of an amazing former member, Kuy Ngo, who recently lost her battle with cancer.  This fundraising initiative was created to show our love and support of Kuy and her family. Each year we host our Annual Summer Team Competition for Kuy, whereby all of the proceeds from this competition are be presented to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada in her memory. For more information on the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada visit https://www.braintumour.ca/ 

Community Project Annual Initiative

The CrossFit Closer Community Project’s Annual Initiative is the single main charitable organization CrossFit Closer dedicates the majority of fundraising to over the course of a single year. By selecting one single main focus we are able to set an annual fundraising goal and support a cause silently throughout the year. The charitable organization selected must be local (within the Kanata or Ottawa Region), a cause that our members are passionate about what they do and who they serve, and something our members want to be involved in.

The CrossFit Closer Community Project fundraises for this initiative by hosting competitions, programs and events throughout the year that raise money and educate members. The Community Project is proud to have supported charities and organizations like Soldier On Canada,  The Wounded Warriors of Canada, Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Ottawa, and the Kanata Food Cupboard. 

The CrossFit Closer Community Project Annual Initiative for 2020 is CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario). 

“CHEO touches the lives of 500,000 patients and families each year. The CHEO Foundation is responsible for developing, accepting, distributing, and recognizing philanthropy in support of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre, the CHEO Research Institute and Roger Neilson House… This incredible support helps the hospital provide a wide variety of pediatric programs, research, state-of the art equipment, medical and nursing education, and assistance for families in crisis.” (https://cheofoundation.com/about-us/foundation/) 

For more information on CHEO and the CHEO Foundation you can visit https://cheofoundation.com/. Our 2020 Fundraising Goal for CHEO is $5,000 and thank you all for your support in this endeavour.
