SLASH FITNESS deciding to give back is their way of saying Thank You. It goes like this: Each month Slash picks a local charity that helps the community and donates money to that charity. Slash donates one dollar for each person who checks into Facebook when they enter. “When someone comes to here and signs in on Facebook, we donate a dollar to a local charity. We do this each month and donate up to $1000 per month for that particular cause,” said Austin. One cause was the Coastal Conservation Association, they work to conserve, promote and enhance coastal resources for the benefit of the general public. Another charity benefiting from Slash’s give back program is the Women’s Foundation of Palm Beach County. The women’s organization is made up of local leaders committed to investing in women and girls to encourage leadership and affect their economic, political, and social status in a positive way. For that month, anyone who goes to Slash and posts it on Facebook will result in a dollar donation to this charitable organization. “We like to keep the charities local because we want to give back to the community that has helped us grow so much,” said Ardagna. So far some of the recipients of their generosity have been the Tri-County Humane Society, Help Our Heroes, Delray Students First, and Runwell (a Slash Fitness sponsored Run helping those that are in recovery raise money to run the New York City Marathon). They get to train at Slash, and the owners and trainers of Slash help raise funds as well. “We help churches, schools and organizations.
