“Sweat for Vets” Block Party Debuting In St. Cloud Next Month

(KNSI) – A new event set for September will help benefit veterans.

All-Star Nutrition is organizing the event, which will take place on the 7th at the Midtown Mall parking lot. The business will team up with Buffalo Wild Wings, Orangetheory Fitness, and about a dozen other local companies to host a big-time block party.

Regional Manager Jordan Bialke says “Sweat for Vets” is a healthy way to have fun for all ages. “We work with a lot of gyms in town, and we’re big about supporting veterans, military, first responders. We thought, what better way than a little charity workout event where we could get a bunch of businesses together, and give away some cool prizes and make it like a cool family event?”

A 30-minute workout, bounce houses, and a wing-eating contest are some of the highlights. Bialke says they are expecting a big debut event.

“Our goal is $1,500 raised the first year here, and we look to continue doing it annually with 100% of the proceeds going to St Cloud StandDown.”

The non-profit runs a barbershop, men’s and women’s stores, and a veterans resource center. The organization helps you to get a hot meal, dry socks, and whatever else you need to get your boots on the ground and transition back into civilian life.
