This past Saturday, hosted Chicago Pulls for Hope, a team-based, deadlift-only powerlifting meet that benefited Family Service Center, and also made for an incredible, uplifting, IMPACTFUL & FUN day! THANK YOU to EVERYONE who lifted, sponsored, donated, and cheered on the amazing feats of strength powered by philanthropy! 💪
At FSC, our vision is a community united in actively supporting emotional and mental wellbeing, and we saw that in action at Chicago Pulls for Hope. We are so filled with gratitude to the inspiring Becca Ward, Iron Mind Rehab, and everyone who made this amazing event possible.

FSC is proud and honored to be part of this extraordinary effort!
