Barbells For Bullies is a 501(c)3 non-profit that hosts fitness competitions all around the US to raise money and awareness for animal rescues all over the country, with a specific emphasis on bully breeds.  We host and coordinate CrossFit, Olympic Weightlifting, Powerlifting, and Strongman competitions, in addition to charity workouts and other outside-the-box fitness events. We in turn donate the proceeds from these events to local rescues or advocacy initiatives, fund animals in need, and provide emergency funding to rescues. We are entirely volunteer run and our aim is to help As Many Rescues As Possible! In addition, we provide educational resources to the general public, host workshops, and donate supplies to rescues and advocacy organizations.
