321 November 19, 2022

2022 has been another year of changes. While some are more positive than others, let there be no doubt that DSACO has emerged from the other side of Covid more innovative and effective than ever.

DSACO continues to expand services to families that may have been missed in the past due to a rural location or ethnic/cultural barriers. The effectiveness and efficiency of DSACO’s program delivery continues to impress. Some families just need a little helping hand while others have heavier loads. Either way, DSACO finds ways to address those needs when others do not, making DSACO a vital community safety net.

2022 marks the fourth year of our 321 efforts. The support of those involved both financially and with their time has been humbling. While it seems like only yesterday that I started with 100,000 burpees, 2022 was the year my mind made promises my body could not keep. Therefore, our event is a bit later than usual this year and will be held on Saturday morning 11/19/2022 at CrossFit Clintonville (our amazing host once again).

We are looking to have as many people as possible participate – preferably in person at CrossFit Clintonville – or online. The theme is anything 321 related whether it is a 3.21-mile walk, 321 jumping jacks or whatever. We expect to start at 8:00 am and will conclude with a party at about noon. We will have a few beverages for those so inclined. Feel free to come whenever you have time to stop by.

For my friends (all 3) who like to see me suffer, my poison of choice this year will be as many squats as possible in 3 hours 21 minutes or 3,210 squats – whichever comes first. I plan to have a wheelchair at the ready.

Donations can be made via the jeffhatesburpees.com website OR via check payable to DSACO at 510 E N Broadway, Columbus, Ohio 43214.

Please get involved in helping those not as blessed.
