During the week of September 12th CrossFit Affiliates all over the world will do the workout Fight Gone Bad to raise money for three great causes. This has been an annual event since 2006 and has raised a combined total of more than $2 million. This year, CrossFit Roots will participate in the event that raises money for the following charities: Special Operations Warrior Foundation, CrossFit Kids and the Infant Swimming Resource, and Camp Patriot.
