The #HourPushUpChallenge invites Anatomy members and guests to “work out for wishes,” directly benefiting the youth of Miami’s underserved communities. Participants will challenge themselves to complete as many push-ups as possible within one hour, with sponsors pledging monetary donations for each push-up achieved. Additionally, supporters can contribute through flat-fee donations on the event’s website, ensuring that 100% of the proceeds go directly to the Udonis Haslem Foundation and Make-A-Wish Southern Florida.
With nearly $400,000 raised in its last two editions and over $715,000 in the past five years, the #HourPushUpChallenge stands as a testament to the power of collective effort and the shared goal of making a significant impact on the lives of local children. Udonis Haslem, alongside Anatomy and Make-A-Wish Southern Florida, is determined to surpass previous years’ achievements, leveraging this event to foster hope and fulfill the wishes of children across the region.
