Now, by doing 90 seconds of pushups, you get to
workout as they do and help raise funds to give
back.
This year, the Pushups for Charity theme is “What
do YOU push for,” since I love to travel, I am pushing for “the freedom to travel safely.” Some of our
participants push for their families or someone deployed and others decide to push for something as
simple as a nice glass of wine.

We Push for Freedom. What Do YOU
Push For?
We Push for the Health of Our Veterans.
What Do YOU Push For?
The effort gained immediate traction and, as a result, Boot Campaign was born. With a mission of
awakening the patriot in every American and providing assistance to our military community in their
time of need, Boot Campaign has grown into a formidable national nonprofit that promotes Patriotism
among all of us. To date, we have raised more than
$12 million in support of our mission.

So now back to ‘why pushups?’

Physical activity has always been important to me
and my friends who started Boot Campaign. Connecting our minds, body and spirit has empowered
us to start this challenge. Pushups For Charity is
our version of a walk-a-thon.

By donning our boots, you get to walk in
their shoes.

We Push for America’s Future. What Do YOU Push
For?

Are you ready to let us know what YOU
push for?
If so, here is how it works: Get some friends, family or colleagues to participate with you in a group
pushups event. Make it a party! Select a date for
your Pushups For Charity challenge and register on
our website. You could host a picnic, a block party
or you can hold the challenge at your office.
