Start List: Coming soon! Update - We're back! WELCOME TO THE 2021 BLACK & RED OPEN!Summertime weightlifting is back with us for one last time.Spoiler alert, but we intended on last year being the last year for the BROpen. We were going to go out with a ton of fun and then... that whole pandemic thing happened. Plans got postponed. We all hit pause. As we awaken out of our fever dream, we learned of some friends who have been dealing with rough stuff in their life so we're bringing the BROpen back for one last charge. Coach John Weeks of Tough Temple was diagnosed with Stage 3 Melanoma last year. Since then, he has undergone surgery and immunotherapy and though he thought he was past this, he was recently diagnosed with metastatic melanoma in his lymph nodes. As such, he is forced to step back from his day to day operations leading Tough Temple and other training clients. We're helping him out through two ways: We're putting on one last Summertime weightlifting party. Proceeds of this meet will go towards a donation to John for his cause. We have started a gofundme @ https://gofund.me/f8ef269d where friends and supporters can donate towards John and his treatment expenses.Now, on to the usual logistics. GeneralAs usual, we are expecting this meet to sell out quickly. Sign up for the waitlist if you run into this situation and we will endeavor to put as many people as we reasonably can into the meet.  The success of our meet has been due to the love from our community of volunteers. We will feed you and hydrate you throughout the day. You will get some swag. We will take care of you. Please consider signing up! In addition, we are calling all folks who want to be more engaged with the LWC to take their referee certification (https://www.teamusa.org/usa-weightlifting/referees), so you can help officiate.
