About The Warrior Liftathon
Warrior Liftathon
The Warrior Liftathon is an annual fundraiser event held by the Sunrise Sertoma Club of Brainerd. The mission of the liftathon is to encourage students grades 8-12 to participate in strength training and become involved in volunteerism in our community! Participants are placed on a fundraising team captained by a Sunrise Sertoma club member. The funds raised stay in our community through donations to charitable organizations and those in need in the Brainerd area and also raises funds for improvements in the school district’s weight rooms.
