Pat’s Pastured CrossFit Providence Buying Club

Pat’s Pastured, a diversified sustainable farm in East Greenwich, RI, is forming a Buying Club at CrossFit Providence!

*****

About Pat’s Pastured:

Founded in 2002 by first-generation farmer Patrick McNiff, Pat’s Pastured offers the highest quality pasture-raised and grass-fed meats. Our goal is to provide our livestock with a life that allows them to express their natural instincts fully in a pasture environment. That means that our pigs get to root, run and play; our chickens get to peck, scratch and crow; our turkeys goggle and strut; and our cows and lambs eat grass outside, NOT corn in confinement.

RISE Recess Spring event – May 10

Rhode Islanders Sponsoring Education (RISE) – a non-profit organization that provides scholarships and mentoring to children of incarcerated parents – would like to invite you to participate in our spring fundraising event, The RISE Recess. 
The mission of RISE is to break the inter-generational cycle of crime, poverty and addiction that threatens children with a parental history of incarceration.  RISE provides scholarships for these children to attend college preparatory high schools and also matches these children with dedicated mentors who spend one-on-one time with them in the community, providing a consistent source of support and positive interaction.
The RISE Recess! event, on May 10th 2012 from 6pm-9pm, promises to be a free-wheeling, fun way to celebrate Spring and raise awareness about RISE’s mentoring and scholarship programs.  RISE and over 100 community members will channel their inner grade-schooler by playing pinball, ping-pong & board games, among other activities.  This event will be held at The Salon in downtown Providence.
There are currently more than 260 Rhode Island children participating in RISE programs.  Let’s show our support for a fantastic initiative by attending the RISE Recess event and playing a few games!

CF Games 2012 – Open Wrap-up

The 2012 Reebok CrossFit Opens are behind us.  This year, the number of affiliates competing doubled, with some boxes having multiple teams compete.  There were 168 teams competing in the North East for 30 regional positions.  CrossFit Providence finished the opens in 44th place.  While it would have been nice to qualify for regionals, going into the opens we realized we were on a re-building year due to injuries (and pregnancy) to some of our strongest members.

The top five females and their place in the Northeast were (based on score submissions to CrossFit)
