Burpee Heroes
Burpee Heroes
One of my favorite things about the fame/infamy of the Burpee exercise is the way it is so often used to raise money for good causes. I’m sure that would make Goog smile too.

Tonya Link and Yvonne Takacs from Firepower Fitness and Wellness in Ontario have done it again! For the fifth year in a row they’ve completed thousands of burpees for a great cause. This year they completed 3276 burpees over four hours to raise money and awareness in support of the Halton Women’s Place which provides emergency shelter and community services for women and children experiencing domestic violence. An additional goal this year was to raise a total of $20,000 over the five years, and they achieved that one also!
Congratulations and thank you for your strength and perseverance, Tonya and Yvonne. True Burpee Heroes!

October 1 - 31, 2022 - TDX Founders Day of Giving
I’m doing 175 Burpees each week in October along with my nephew, Gunnar Royal Burpee, to raise money for the TDX Educational Foundation and to honor our ancestor, Dr. Royal H. Burpee. Dr. Burpee, my grandfather and Gunnar’s great grandfather, created the burpee exercise and taught that physical fitness strengthens not only the body, but the mind and spirit as well. Theta Delta Chi shares those same values and encourages its members to continually improve physically, mentally and spiritually. Our commitment to 175 Burpees per week in October is a way to honor Tau Triton members and Dr. Burpee while helping to fund scholarships, grants, and leadership programming. Your tax-deductible donation of a nickel per Burpee ($35), a dime per Burpee ($70), a quarter per Burpee ($175), or any amount you choose, counts towards TauTriton’s Founders Day of Giving fundraising totals and helps celebrate the fraternity’s 175th anniversary. You can make your donation by clicking the “Make a donation” button.
