5th Anniversary and Holiday Party

5th anniversaryJoin us on Saturday (12/14) as we celebrate the Holiday Season and CrossFitAustin’s 5th Anniversary!

In 2008 we opened our doors by raising funds for the Brittany Tuck Memorial Fund started by our good friends Keith and Sandra Tuck. The Memorial fund was started in memory of their daughter, Brittany Tuck, who’s life was tragically cut short by an automobile accident.  Earlier this year we also lost Keith and we felt it only fitting to once again bring the CrossFit Austin community back together to honor and help this great family in a time of need.  The Brittany Tuck Memorial Fund creates scholarships for young athletes graduating from Dripping Springs, Lake Travis, and Dayton High School. Over the last 9 years Keith has worked tirelessly to build and grow the Memorial Fund, and we’re honored to be able to step up and help with something he took great pride in.

Members of the child life staff work closely with the entire health care team on every inpatient unit from trauma to cancer to provide the highest quality care for children of all ages.
