My friend, Phil Stevens, is putting on the 3rd annual Lift 4 Hope charity event. It's a strongman / powerlifting competition that raises money for good causes.

Two years ago, he used the event to raise money for the American Cancer Society camp for children. Last year he gave the proceeds to The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona. This year he is changing the focus to a "by strength athletes for strength athletes" event. Proceeds raised will support strength athletes that compete on the international level for the United States Of America.

Lift 4 Hope

I will be donating all the proceeds I get during the month of May 2010 from my AdSense ads on this blog to Phil's event.

The date of the event is still being worked on, but rest-assured, you will be giving to a very admirable cause.

For specific questions about the event or cause, please contact Phil at Lift 4 Hope, as he has the answers
