Description
Elevate was the name of Phil’s personal fitness training business.
Since his passing, it was revamped by his close friends to keep his legacy going.
Today, Elevate is a community that focuses on mental and physical health with the memory of Phil and what he stood for at its center. With the movement for awareness as the priority, the core value of the company is to strive to have at the highest level these 4 things: Passion, Health, Intelligence, and Love (PHIL).
Elevate is also vocal about its commitment to encouraging each other and others how to be a good person and Christian, citing God as their reason for the togetherness and using their favorite Bible verses as their words to live.
Along with the T-Shirt that comes with sign-up, other merchandise will be sold at the event so if you’d like to further support the cause, keep an eye out for the concession stands!

About Phil!
Philip Spellman was born in November of 1999 in Bear, Delaware. A devoted Christian and multi-sport athlete, he was known for his kind heart and dedication to becoming the best version of himself. He touched countless lives during his time attending Appoquinimink High School and University of Delaware. Following his scholastic career, he continued to serve others, starting up his private fitness mentorship. In January 2024, Phil tragically lost his life after a battle with mental health. Although his time on Earth was cut short, he left a lasting impression on those around him and continues to impact the lives of many today. Phil was a role model even to his peers, as his memory remains fresh in the minds of all of the people he connected with throughout his journey.
