BIG FISH FOUNDATION
Proceeds from the sale of our Never Forgotten apparel have already raised well over $400,000 for the Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), and future sales will be helping to support another great veterans charity, the Big Fish Foundation. Big Fish is dedicated to helping veterans transition to civilian life by providing them a renewed connection to the fundamental principles of service. The foundation is headed up by retired U.S. Marine Corps officer and CrossFit athlete Brian “Tosh” Chontosh (aka “The Big Fish”), an Iraq War veteran who was awarded the Navy Cross for his heroism in Baghdad in 2003.
EVERYONE PUTS THEIR BOOTS ON THE SAME WAY
We stand resolute in our belief that everyone should be treated the same way. No person should ever be made to feel different or uncomfortable in their skin. Racism and bigotry have no place in our world. We will continue to listen, learn, and work towards the next steps in our community initiatives.

SUPPORTING LOCAL RESTAURANTS
Part of the Rogue mission is to support and sustain a healthy economy at a local level. Beyond investing in our team, supporting other local businesses and their teams is an extension of our mission. Since the beginning of the pandemic in the spring of 2020, Rogue Fitness has purchased nearly 160,000 meals from over 50 different local restaurants and food trucks for our team.
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BOX
Rogue has donated US$100,000 to the Support Your Local Box Fundraiser by matching individual contributions. The Support Your Local Box Fundraiser is an online event held in support of the CrossFit affiliate community. Three workouts will be released over three weeks. These will use classic @CrossFit programming designed to be done at home with little or no equipment.
ROGUE + BEYOND THE WHITEBOARD
Rogue is sponsoring $150,000 to Beyond the Whiteboard to allow gym owners to have virtual coaching tools. Beyond The Whiteboard created a way for this to be unlimited during the Covid-19 Pandemic, matching our sponsorship.
